DIY Tips
- Think ahead all year long. Take photos of your family at family gatherings and have everyone pose for the photo. Then at the end of the year give them a photo of each person as a Christmas gift.
- If you have a nice photo of a friend, give it as a gift. Look among your old photo albums and scan or copy a photo of you and a best friend as children, and find a more recent photo of you two. Use a hinged picture frame to place the two photos in each frame.
- If you can make a unique food, put it in a container after it is ready. Detailed recipes are included with the gift. If you make some sauce or marinade, put it in a bottle and include a card with instructions on how to eat or use it.
- Picture frames are made from many materials, from cardboard to wood. First use thermoplastic to stick an object to a small corner of the frame to see if it sticks well.
- If a friend has mentioned it before or there is a TV show or band that you both like, you can make a custom T-shirt with a funny saying or a picture of the TV show or band. You can also use a computer printer to make iron-on T-shirt stickers.
- For family members who don’t use computers much, you can use a printer to make some interesting things for them. Make some address signs. There are other tags that come in handy. Add a family totem or photo to make these cards more personal.
- If you or your sister/daughter subscribes to American Girl magazine, it usually has great ideas and methods for making these gadgets, especially in the November/December issue.
