I have taken DIY Christmas to the extreme this year. I did buy presents for the most part, but I made a bunch too. I am on Crafts. From Christmas cards to ribbons and bows.......I did it myself! Give me a couple days off from work and this is what happens. And I have time to post!
For the neighbors it was coasters with tile (reuse!) and some with felt. Tile coasters are too easy and the felt ones just look darn cute on the wine glass.
The pup is giving her dad a portrait of herself on canvas. This is not a very good picture but it looks awesome in real life (haha!) Printed picture put on canvas. I will be doing this again very soon!
My cutie nephew is getting some homemade play dough, paints, some store bought books and educational goodness:) The teacher in me makes me give gifts like this!! Play dough was easy, easy! The paints were supposed to be finger paints but turned out to be just paint -which might turn out to be less mess for the parents (Hopefully!)
Wrapping paper was made from newspaper and grocery bags with paint (Recycle!) Ribbon and bows were made from yarn and felt (Reuse scraps!)
Oh, and the Christmas card was made with card stock and just sent as a post card (Reduce)!
Who knows if I will be able to do this all again next year. I hope to. I enjoyed it and I did my part to reduce, reuse, recycle:) Yay!
Merry Christmas to you!
