DIY Upcycled Handmade Gift Ideas
With the holidays approaching, I find myself looking for unique, upcycled or handmade gifts ideas I can make for others. Handmade gifts are fun to make, can be personalized and thoughtful, and avoid the waste and consumerism most associated with this time of year. These are some of the best sites I found because all the images are on the first page – no clicking through each image – and a majority look like something I could do and would want.
Here are a few of my favorites:
- 25 Upcycled Sweater Ideas
- 16 Gifts in a Jar
- Chalkboard Mugs
- 20 cool toys for kids you can make from cardboard
- Wine Bottle Glasses
- Sweater Baby Booties
Don’t have the time to make it yourself? Head over to Craft-O at The Workhouse December 14th – 15th to buy handcrafted gifts from local artists.
