Christmas Craft Tutorial DIY Gift Ideas Holidays

15+ DIY Handmade Christmas Gift Ideas

Are you looking for fun DIY Christmas gifts for people on your list this year? I have put together a list of some of my favourite ideas for a range of skill levels. Whether it’s friends, family or co-workers, there is a gift on this list for everyone.

Every year, I like to make a few homemade Christmas gifts. Taking the time to make a gift for someone says you put effort, thought and love into creating something just for them.

Making homemade gifts can not only fulfill your creative spark around the holiday season, but in most cases it is budget friendly too.

Christmas Stovetop Simmer

This simple recipe is a lovely way to make your home smell warm and inviting, especially during the holiday season. It also makes an easy inexpensive gift for friends, neighbours and teachers. I printed the instructions directly onto the bag and dressed them up with ribbon and cinnamon sticks.
