My most favorite part about the upcoming Holidays is making things for my family members! I get most of my ideas from Pinterest, but some ideas were my own. Giving something that is handmade has more meaning than something store bought. Also, it'll be WAY cheaper to make your own decorations rather than buying them.
1. Mini Wreaths
These are one of my FAVORITE things to make. The best part about it is that it is made of mason jar lids! This is by far one of my favorite Pinterest finds. A tutorial can be found on the original owner's website here
2. Little Snowmen
Here is another one of my favorites! These are made of mason jar lids as well. I actually used white pipe cleaners instead of twine. I love this idea that Anne created! A link to the tutorial is here
3. Candles
This year, I got into making candles. It can be a hassle but it's all worth it in the end! I've seen many tutorials for candles, but I liked Katie's the most. You can make any scent that you want! A tutorial can be found here
4. Ornaments
There are so many tutorials online for all kinds of ornaments. I came across Kim's tutorial and I fell in love! They are very simple yet so beautiful! The tutorial can be found on her blog
5. Hats, scarves, etc.
My great grandmother has gotten into crocheting recently. She made me this hat last year and I wear it every time it gets cold. I've got more hats that I wear as well. She's also made me numerous scarves. I don't have a tutorial for hers but I found a blog that is run by a lady named Alexis. She makes hats very similar to mine. They're also super cute! The tutorial can be found here
6. Wreaths
I have always wanted to make an ornament wreath. I just think they're so beautiful! I just haven't got around to actually taking the time to make one (I work A LOT). They are definitely a good gift to give. A tutorial can be found here
7. Painted Mason Jars
Another one of my favorite things to do is paint mason jars. Since Christmas is coming up, I'm starting to make Christmas themed ones. I came across Kelly's idea on Pinterest and I fell in love! A link to her tutorial can be found here
8. Painted Wooden Spoons
These are just too cute for words! They are such a simple craft to make. I will be making some within the next few weeks. A link to the creator's blog can be found here
9. Hand Warmers
This is another project I will be starting soon. They are a great gift to give anyone! A tutorial can be found on Sadie's blog
10. Wooden Signs
Wooden signs are one of my favorite ways to decorate. I have a good friend of mine who can make them! Here is a link to the Facebook group. Also, here is a link that will give you some information on woodwork
I have more ideas on my Pinterest! Here are links to my Christmas, DIY 1, and DIY 2 boards.
