$5 DIY Christmas Gifts, Handmade, Thrifted and Homemade

Each year, I challenge myself to make and thrift a large portion of our Christmas gifts. My skills continue to improve and I get to pass my lessons on to you, follow along for the 2022 results and let me know in the comments below what you will be making!

This is the REAL way to celebrate.

I found Coasters all over in sets of 3 or 4, both round and square, heavy, made mostly stone or stone look resin, with ugly pictures or prints on top. I covered these with photos I took or spray painted or embroidered tops, and clear shellacked or covered with decorators finish.
The sets were on average $2 and the photos etc ran me no more than $3. ❤

This is the best DIY gift inspiration video

Not sure if you are aware but at several times, there was no sound, only music :( great video otherwise

I love your holly reef... it is beautiful! I have just started watching your channel and I feel very inspired. I have been watching Cami’s from Tidbits for a couple of years and when she shared your video I came over to check it out. Thank you for the gift ideas... I do some baking and share it as gifts. Looking forward to watching more of your videos. Merry Christmas!

Lovely

I loved all of your ideas and the end products look so elegant! Ty for the inspiration!

I make a lot of my gifts and work all year on them. I have trouble with the sound going in and out on your presentations and am sad when that happens. Any ideas?

New here and loved all your ideas! Best video for homemade gifts! That wreath is stunning! Thanks for sharing!

Your wreath was stunning! And, the other gifts turned out adorable, too!

I just came across your video. You have a NEW SUBSCRIBER!! Wa hoo! Your ideas are wonderful🥰

You can actually get strike rounds that will stick to the bottom of most any container. I got mine on Amazon

I’m going to try one of these for different gifts! Making the soup!

You have to get strike anywhere matches (the kind with the white tips) to get them to light on sand paper.

Love all of these ideas😁❤️

I loved your handmade gifts. Of all the gifts you made, my favorite was the Holly wreath! I wish I had access to a Holly bush like you did. In my area, we have cedar and juniper trees so I'm thinking to make some wreaths from them. The juniper have little berries on them which makes them extra beautiful. Thank you for the inspiration.

Sarah, you did such a beautiful job. Those kinds of gifts are the BEST! gifts! They’re gifts that are homemade & made from the heart. And that’s what makes them the best! It’s also what Christmas should be all about. That’s the Spirit of Christmas!!! I think that’s what the whole world needs right now. Peace, Love & the Spirit of Christmas.

Hope you’re doing better regarding your mom’s passing. She’s happy in heaven in her new house & with her relatives & friends. They’re all probably celebrating Christmas with a big bash all month & every one’s happy. Then one day we’ll all join them soon. God bless.

Merry Christmas Sarah, to you & your Family & Happy New Year.
