Handmade Gifts are a great wait to show appreciation to family members, friends, and loved ones! If your gift list is long and your budget is small here are some great Handmade Gifts that you can make. These are beautiful ideas!
Keep in mind that handmade items are not just beautiful but special…
I love to give them and I love to receive them. In my opinion they are the best!

Jersey Knit Bracelet
Lovely!
This would make a perfect gift for any of your girlfriends.
You can choose the colors and recycle t-shirts that you have around the house.
Cheap and cute!

This is a brilliant idea… and the possibilities are endless.

Printed Candles
Who doesn’t love a candle?
Think about how many different stamps you could use to customize this project.

Hot Chocolate Art!
What a great gift for neighbors and teachers…
I am personally a hot chocolate lover so this would make a great gift for me 😉

Tile Coaster
You can buy these plain tiles at Home Depot for under a dollar.
I’ve seen them with family pictures also… Way cute!

Bow Belt
I was amazed how easy this tutorial was.
I want to make this bow belt in every color possible for my girls…
So Pretty!

Mason Jar Sewing Kit
We all have a sister, grandma, mom or friend that loves to sew…
You can purchase the sewing kits at the Dollar Store… and oh my goodness can I say ADORABLE?

Sugar Cubes
I featured these sweeties a while ago.
You can make a ton of them for few bucks and give them in a cute little bag

Tea Cup Lights
Thrift Stores have a huge collection of vintage and antique tea cups.
What a nice sweet gift these little candles would make.

Wrap It!
This idea is perhaps my very favorite.
Fill these gorgeous paper cones with candy,
popcorn, bath salts… whatever you can think of and you have a super cute gift.
25
Hair Comb
I remember my mom having a ton of hair combs when I was little.
This is such a simple way to make them pop.
A set of them could make such a great little gift.
So before you go shopping this season make a list and check it twice…
You’ll be surprised how much you can make with so little…
As I always say …make it beYOUtiful … make it YOUnique … make it EXTRAORDINARY!

Felicitari!Toate sunt foarte frumoase!
Love your stuff what amazing ideas none of them are naff they are all delightful. I really dig your coasters but what is mod spodge we don’t have
that here in England we probably have something similar is it some sort of glue that dries clear.
You could really market a few of those projects over here if you had a little store in the right place,beautiful thoughtful gifts.
I just recently found Pinterest and…. I’m SO glad I did!!! The few crafters I’ve come across have had some awesome ideas but today in finding yours, I think I hit the lottery!!!! Seriously, I’m not saying this for effect. What sets you apart from those I’ve come across is the fact that you give tutorials. I’m sure there are others who do as well, its just that as of yet, I haven’t come across any . Then again, I am new so time will tell. As I went through your list my excitement grew and I found myself saying , “oh, that would be perfect for my niece” or “awe, my lil sis would LOVE this”. I come from a LARGE family. Being able to gift each of them something for X-mas or their B-days is basically, impossible. =( … But now, that will no longer be an issue!! And like you, I LOVE homemade gifts. To me, they’re more meaningful because of the thoughts and feelings that go into making them. Thankfully, my family members feel the same. Thank you so much for sharing your amazing gift ideas and again, for including the tutorials. I know they’ll make all the difference in succeeding in the project!! Best wishes to you and yours Desiree…. <3
Tammie, thank you so much for your sweet comment and welcome to The 36th AVENUE!
Have fun creating!
I loved the candles with the stamps but I don’t know what ink to use I have two but every time I use one of them it rubs off.
12 year old hannah!!!
