This year, I am broke. Completely and utterly, broke. Also this year, I have been getting into crafts (Another thing that I never knew would happen!) I always thought that I was extremely 'un'artistic but it actually turns out that I don't have to be! SO! This Christmas, my Husband and I are going to be making our own gifts. I don't want to tell you exactly what they are just yet! But I can tell you that Mod Podge is my new best friend!
In this post I would like to give a shout out to a few blogs that I have stumbled upon that have given me fantastic ideas! They all have a fantastic array of DIY crafty projects that ANYONE can do!
Our Best Bites - Has an awesome gift idea for kids! Make your own homemade
slime! What kid doesn't love slime?!

Chica and Jo have an idea that I also fell in love with. They have
coasters made out of curling ribbon! I tried this one out and the end result was amazing! This is perfect for using up all your extra curling ribbon! I always have tons of the stuff left over at Christmas.

Over at
Mommy Models, they have a tutorial on how to make your own
photo canvas art! I bought a canvas print last year as a gift and they are really quite pricey! I wish I had seen this one last year!
Life in Grace has another great gift idea for kids!
Homemade alphabet crayons! I will definitely be making these with my Son when he is older!

With that, I am off to find my X-acto Knife!

I saw heart-shape pans at the Target dollar spot and I wondered if I should pick them up to make heart crayons for my nieces and nephews.
ReplyDeleteI love the twist your mom made on marshmallow treats with cornflakes and raisins. I'll have to remember that!
