DIY Art
People gifted with artistic skills would surely save a lot of money if they create gifts themselves. The gift will surely be priceless to the receiver. Even the not-so-artistic people can find lots of DIY craft ideas on the web to try at home.
Examples would be a photo collage with DIY frames, potpourri in a jar, personalized bookmarks or craft boxes, candles or candle holders, decoration, jewelry, t-shirts, or any other craft that you might find suitable for the person you are gifting.
Sewn Items
