33 homemade gifts you still have time to DIY this season
Homemade candles, totes, clothes, soaps and so many more stunning suggestions they’ll absolutely love
There's something incredibly special about giving someone a gift you actually made yourself. Plus, you get to enjoy the fun and pride that come from creating rather than buying. As you scroll through this list of 33 DIY projects from our archives, rest assured that your giftees would truly appreciate something handmade by you this holiday season.
If you've got access to a sewing machine, you'll find some great projects to try, such as a denim tote bag made of old jeans, and a fabric bookmark. These are great options if you're looking to make a batch of presents. Maybe you have a giftee who adores candles? We have three very original ideas, including one that repurposes old vessels. You'll also find great instructions for crafting scrunchies, beaded bracelets, shower bundles of seasonal greenery, plant stands, aftershave and a myriad of other projects. Match them to the tastes of the people you're thinking of and the time you have available.
In honour of the season, we've also included some festive ornaments, adorable stockings made from old sweaters, and homemade cookie containers for presenting your baked goods in an extra special way. Bookmark your favourites, gather your supplies, and get to the merriment of making.
