Easy DIY Gift Ideas

Since I Have Tapped Into My Creative Side This Year, I Decided To Make All The Christmas Gifts I Was Giving to The Adults (kids don't know what to do with the things I create).  Although I Would Like to Take Credit For Them As My Original Idea, I Can't.  I Borrowed Each Idea, But They Turned Out Great, Not To Mention They Were Greatly Appreciated. 

 

Allow Me To Share Them:

  

The First Gift Was To My Parents & My Sister & Bother-In-Law.  My Mother-In-Law Received A Gift Like This Years Ago & Now That I Have My Cricut, It Was Too Easy To Not Duplicate!

 

 

All I Had To Buy Was The Tile & The Stand, Since I Had The Black & White Vinyl. The Hard Part Was Deciding On The Font!  The "Est." Dates Are The Year They Each Were Married.

 

 

The Next Two Gifts I Borrowed From Shanty-2-Chic.  I Have Fallen In Love With This Blog (website) Because Their Ideas Are So Easy & So Beautiful!  Thank You Shanty Girls!!

 

 

 

These J-O-Y Signs Were Easy To Make Once I Had All The Pieces.  I Gave Them To My Mother-In-Law & Sisters-In-Law.  Since I Didn't Use Any Christmas Colors, They Can Be Used All Throughout The Year As Home Decor!

Here Is The Link To Shanty-2-Chic's Tutorial.

 

This Is An Easy Picture Frame Idea. I Combined 2 Different Ideas From Shanty-2-Chic To Create It. All I Did Was Take A Piece Of 2x6 I Had From The Previous Project & Glued A Wooden Knob I Bought From Michael's On Top. I Then Spray Painted It And The Clothes Pin, Black. When It Was Dry, I Distressed It With My Mouse Sander. Then I Cut A Piece Of Burlap, Sprayed It With Spray Adhesive & Centered It On The Piece Of Wood. Then I Made My Rosettes & Hot Glued Them And The Clothes Pin Onto The Wood. Finally, I Added Our Newest Family Picture & It Was Complete! Easy As Pie!!

 

 

 

All Of These Gifts Were So Simple To Make! If You Decide To Make Them Yourself, You Will Enjoy The Process & Love The Idea Of Giving Someone A Homemade Gift They Will Actually Want to Put In Their Home!
