5 Homeade Christmas Presents That Can Be Made by Kids

This might turn into a Disaster, but....The kids and I are going to make some homemade Christmas presents this year. The kids love crafting, even though their mama is not incredibly fond of it. I've found some pretty simple ideas on Pinterest, and they're not cheesy.
 I would enjoy receiving any one of these gifts. I might make some extra for myself. Since I like some instant gratification, I'll give you my favorite one first:

1. Photo Coasters

I'd definitely keep these sitting around the house. They are not the typical cheesy gift made by a child. They are gorgeous! And, might I add, relatively simple to make! All it takes is:

Pictures
Ceramic tiles
Modge Podge
Spray sealant
Hot glue
Felt

Check out the instructions here on PopSugar.

 

 

2. Awesome, Hilarious, Homeade Bookmarks

Every time I look at these, I start to giggle! They are so hilarious! My kids are going to have so much fun with this, and it's sooooo easy! You will need:

Pictures
Index Cards
Embroidery Floss
Glue Stick
Hole Punch
Scissors

3. Photo Ornaments

Try Audible and Get Two Free Audiobooks

I think this one is adorable, and it looks sooo easy! The ornament pictured in the original pin was different than the one on the website that it linked to, but it seems as easy as stuffing some paper shreds in along with the photo for the difference. For this project you will need:

Clear glass round bulb ornaments
Pictures
Colored Paper Shreds (optional)
Tweezers

The instructions can be found on Life as a Thrifter right here.

 

 

 

4. Helping Hands

Just like the website says, I'm sure that any grandma would love these, and aren't they adorable. There aren't really any instructions on the website, other than a link for care instructions, but it's pretty self explanatory.

Oven Mitts (I plan on purchasing mine at a dollar store)
Paint

I found this project here at All Things with Purpose.

So, there you have it, those are some pretty good looking craft gifts for those who are not crafty. That would be me. Queen of the not crafty over here, but I try. I hope that you and your kids have a great time, and those receiving the gifts are in love with them.

P.S. to all family who may be reading this blog....just act surprised when you open it.

That's all for now,
