DIY christmas gifts

By: Madeline Edwards

Do you want to give your friend or family the best Christmas present you could possibly think of? Try a homemade one! There are so many varieties of gifts that you can make.
Food and candy are very popular gifts to give. You can spice the food up or even dial it down to match the person’s preference.
One good holiday Christmas gift is homemade hot cocoa. This recipe is very simple, and all you have to do is store it in a cute container, put ribbon on it, and write a little note.
The recipe for the hot chocolate is: 3 ½ cups of sugar, 2 ¼ cups cocoa powder, and 1 tablespoon of table salt. It’s super simple and delicious!
Second, phones are a big part of our lives these days. We want to protect those phones as best as we can. But have you ever been looking for a good case but haven’t found anything you liked? Or have you ever witnessed a family member with the same problem? A DIY a phone case might be the answer! All you need is modge podge, a clear case, and whatever photos or gems the gift receiver would like.
Place a layer of modge podge on the phone and attach your pictures onto it. If you want to add a little more, you could even super glue some rhinestones to the case if that is what you or the person you’re giving the gift to likes.
Finally, if you are good with your hands, try making letters out of plywood that spell out your friend or family member’s name! Want to make it even better? Glue some pictures to that!
There are many varieties of gifts you can make! It all depends on their personality and interests.You just have to think outside of the box, and your friend or family member will LOVE it!
