17 beautiful DIY ideas for making awesome gifts this year
Objets, accessories and more that you’ll be so proud (if not reluctant) to give away!
A good idea is nothing without action. That's why we're sharing these 17 beautiful DIY projects well ahead of the holidays — so you have ample time to carry out your great idea: to make something special for your lucky giftee (or maybe yourself).
Will you tackle the giant tapestry below for that empty wall you've (or, um, they) always wanted to fill? How wonderful would it be to say, "Oh, I made it," when people exclaim how beautiful it is? Will you make your friends scrunchies in satins and velvets of their favourite colours and interesting patterns? Is this how your accessories empire gets its start?
Whoops, we're getting ahead of ourselves. The idea of crafting often does that to us. Back to the making. We've chosen these particular projects from our DIY catalogue because we think they're special enough to invest your time in, and that you and whoever you might give them to will be so happy with the results. Set aside a full day or chip away while you watch your shows, and please do DM us pics of your finals!
