I have always loved to DIY gifts. There is something about spending time and energy in creating an amazing gift for a loved one. The problem that I run into is some of my DIY gift ideas are…. how do I say this…. not so glamorous…… or super useful…..
Maybe you can relate….
…..a homemade calendar that sort of gets forgotten after January, never to be updated again.
How about those vinyl lettered plates…. Those were cool, for a minute.
oh oh oh, we can’t forget about the DIY paper weight….Let me just be the first to admit it…..Been there done that on all of the above accounts! haha
I love homemade gifts, but lets make something our loves ones will love, and use. Here are 11 DIY expensive looking gift ideas.
Let me know what you think about these ideas! 🙂
