Do it yourself birthday gift ideas
July 7th, 2015
If you are creating birthday hampers and want to make them special then what better than homemade gifts? This is a great way to save some funds too. Do it yourself birthday gifts can make a great hamper basket in a reasonable rate. Besides this, it is special and sweet too.
So while we are at it, here are some DIY birthday gifts ideas you need to try…
- Magnets:Use jewellery, fancy buttons and any fancy cloth. Just place these on top on plain black magnets with care and glue it nicely. These gifts can be placed in a jar and added to the hamper.
- Rope vase:Take a silver container (any round container would do) and take some glue to stick. Now take a rope and braid them together. After this, start sticking the rope outside the steel container and do this until it reaches the top. Stick well and leave it to dry. Trust us, this looks gorgeous if done right
- Journals:Just be crafty! Take a plain notebook and take some hard colorful craft paper and some pens. Now cut designs of your choice on the craft paper and start sticking. Before this, make sure you make a base color as a cover for the journey. You can use black as the base to add lots of colors. If you are good at drawing then use colorful pens to design it. Seems kiddish but this gift is for writers.
- Key chains:Use fabric to create cute and personalised key chains. You can remove the ring from any old useless keychain and start with the cloth piece and if you can stitch then do that. Otherwise, glue is the other option. They might be small but with all the gifts combined, it will be great.
- Earrings: Yes, you can make earrings at home too. To make dangling earrings at home, you just need a small pair of studs, some old light weighted coins or buttons that have an embellished look, wire and fabric. Draw out a design of the earring and then start.
- Laptop or tablet covers: Purchase a plain weight cloth bag which is available in the market for cheap price. If you are good at stitching, then you can make the cover yourself otherwise just cut the bag out of the size and add a closing flap with the cloth or any other contrasting fabric at home. You can fabric paint and also place some glittering buttons on it
- Fancy paper clips and bookmarks: We have all learned in school how to make bookmarks but fancy paperclips are easier to make. Just take colorful buttons and stick them on different colors of paper clips. The gift is ready!
Include all these gifts in a cute hamper basket and do not forget to add a card for the final touch. Wrap the birthday hamper basket well before you present it. These easy and quick homemade gift ideas make for amazing presents. Start creating today. Do something different for your loved ones!
