DIY Craft Ideas for Gifts

I thought it would be fun to share with you some of the gifts that I made to give away as Christmas gifts. I love to personalize gifts to make them special. I hope this encourages you to use your imagination to create your own personalized gifts too. I will put links to the tutorials with each group of pictures so you can give it a try.

This is a pirate necklace that my son helped me make. It has a sward and a treasure chest as its pendant. I made this for my daughter because she loves Pirates of the Caribbean. 

Dillan also made Kymberly a treasure chest and a ship out of the polymer clay so she can set them on her dresser.

(There isn't a tutorial for these because these are originally made by Dillan)
This is a necklace that I made for my daughter Lindsey. She loves Spongebob. I made the pendant out of polymer clay.

I made a whole family of owls for my brother and his family. An owl for each family member. I made polymer clay ornaments to put on each owl to represent something that each of the family members enjoy. This made it a super special gift. :)
