DIY Christmas Presents



Here are some things that I have made that make great gifts.  Since Christmas is coming up, I would like to share the ideas.  I'm really not that crafty and have minimal sewing skills, so if I could make these you really could too.  Where possible, I've tried to include a link to a tutorial.

2. Seashell Pillar Candles

3.  Sand and Seashell Candle Holders

4. Fabric Car Play Mat
Made with fabric markers and black acrylic paint.
I drew the buildings on white fabric, cut them with a zig-zag scissors and sewed them on.
This present definitely gets used the most of any I've made.

5.  Jean Pocket Purses


6. Duct Tape Wallets
Like the ones made here.


7. Silhouette Candle Holders
Decoupage white fabric around a glass candle holder.
Print out profile pictures on cardstock.
Cut out the person and paint the picture black.
Decoupage the silhouette onto the fabric.
Add a few more layers of decoupage to seal everything.


8. Silhouette Christmas Ornaments
Made similarly to the candle holders, but I decoupaged them onto ceramic ornaments.


9. Pillowcase Dress (but I shirred 4 rows on the top)
Like the one made here.

Sew a hair tie on one end and a button on the other.
