8 DIY Christmas Gift Ideas
Have you started Christmas shopping yet? I'm actually pretty close to being done since our family does a Secret Santa exchange. It's our way of keeping clutter down at each of our homes, and it helps us stick to a more reasonable budget, too.
Another way to keep costs low this Christmas? DIY presents! Handmade gifts are my very favorites to give, so I'm constantly Pinning new DIY ideas to try this time of year—from sweet smelling essential oil blends and tasty snack mixes, to handmade organizers and wearable DIY jewelry.
In case you're thinking about trying your own hand at crafting something special for the girlfriends on your list, I rounded up a collection of practical-but-pretty tutorials that easily translate into Christmas gifts. Scroll on for links to each individual idea for the how-to!
