Here are just a couple of the handmade holiday gifts that I have made so far this year.
First is a galvanized bucket that I have made for my in-laws, who live at the beach, which of course makes visiting them soooooo hard 😉 They have a little area in their garage before you walk in the door where you usually leave your shoes, thought this would be a cute way to “catch” them all. I just cut out some fun vinyl (in Gator colors of course), transferred it on, and finished it off by tying some Orange & Blue ribbons to the handles.
Next up is the Chalkboard Tutu from Greenbean’s Crafterole, she has a SO easy to follow Tutu-Tute on her blog! Regan gave this to her ballet teacher yesterday and it was a big hit!
Next up is the cute and easy teacher’s gift Box of Teacher Goodies from the girls at eighteen25. This was a really fun one to put together, mostly because it’s so easy and the toughest part is shopping for the goodies to go inside!
And then a small add-on gift I made these adorable little bottles of instant hand sanitizer or “Magic Soap” as my daughter calls it. I saw the idea on several different blogs in the past couple months, such a great idea! Just tear off the labels, use goo gone to remove any adhesive left behind, add stickers (got these at Target for $0.99), and add a little ribbon to it all! Presto fun gift to give or to keep for your kitchen/changing station/bathroom.
I love the beach shoes tin!!! Such a great idea!!!
Your chalkboard is adorable! I LOVE the pink chalkboard paint. I haven’t seen it before =)
I really like your blog. I could stay busy here. 🙂 I’d like to make one of the ribbon trees. Neat teacher gift. I like what you did with the lid. And thanks for the printables.
love, love, love all these gift ideas!! I just wish I had more people to buy for! Best thing is though that you can use these ideas year round! Thanks so much for linking up to Ladybug Blessings Handmade Tuesdays!
I love the bucket and the tutu. The gifts for the teachers were really nice and I think I will keep them in mind for when teacher appreciation day arrives.
Thank you for sharing at Holly Bloggy.
