Here are some relatively easy to make homemade Christmas gift ideas
1. How much time have you got to make the gift? Can you sew? Knit? If you have the time and patience, you could do a cross sew picture on a square piece of fabric and stitch that onto a cushion cover. Pick a design you know he or she would like and stitch away. Or you could knit a scarve, or a sweater, depending on your skill and the amount of time you have to make that gift.
2. Turn unwanted stuff to lovely presents by ransacking the attic. Can you find old beads that no one wants? How about those tacky bead curtains that no one would ever use? Or maybe old christmas decorations that do not look good on your modern Christmas tree. Get a length of elastic. Cut up those bead curtains. Mix and match the beads from the curtains, old necklaces and loose beads that you've found. String them together on elastic strips to make one-of-a-kind bracelets that would make excellent christmas gifts.
3. Memories are precious. For your beloveds, consider making a book of memories. Take a diary and let your artistic side run wild. Glue photos onto each sheet of the diary, showing past moments that matter to the recipient. Write a little message on each page, in line with each event. Decorate each page to your best ability.
4. Are you better at woodworking? If you can make a magazine rack, well and good. If not, a photo frame might be an easier task. With two pieces of plyboard and a saw you are able to make a simple frame to hold a photograph that captures a cherished shared memory.
5. Christmas food gifts are always a hit and this is something you are able to make in your own kitchen. Get your family recipes for fruitcakes, cookies or brownies. Cookies christmas gifts are a hit with young and old alike. Bake some batches of cookies and gift them in air-tight containers as Christmas present. You are able to cut them into christmas shapes like snowmen, christmas trees or whatever might capture your fancy.
