Personalize a store-bought candle for
an inexpensive Christmas gift. Simply wrap cardstock around the candle,
and embellish it with a die-cut accent and letter. No die-cutting tool?
No problem -- use stickers instead. These candles can be picked up at
any dollar store. What a great girlfriend gift!
Glass
paperweights decorated for the holidays make practical and
gender-neutral gifts -- ideal for coworkers and teachers. The simple
project starts with a glass paperweight kit, available at crafts and
hobby stores or online. Decorate the paperweight with scrapbook paper,
gift wrap, or an old Christmas Card.
This
pretty-as-a-package pincushion is the perfect gift for a crafty friend.
Cover a foam square with fabric (wrap it like a gift) and secure along
the edges with fabrics glue. Glue on beads and tie on a ribbon bow.
It takes only a few minutes and some embroidery floss to make these cute napkins!
Make
a candle in a vintage teacup. Scour garage sales for cheap but
interesting tea cups. Start with a wick, melted old candle ends, and a
little scented oil, such as lemongrass or grapefruit. Find out how to
make these candles HERE
