Four Easy Handmade Gifts: Mothers, Teachers, Hostesses
It is a great idea to have some handmade gifts on hand this time of year.
I have 4 to share today that are inexpensive, easy & fun to create and are sure to please the recipient.
Mother's Day present, teacher or hostess gift ~ all 4 are perfect. Make a few extra to have on hand throughout the summer.
Each of the 5 are less costly & more personal than the $40 candle or last minute bottle of wine. Not that I would ever turn you away with a bottle of wine in your hand. ;)
Come on, let's get our crafty on together today & whip up some gifts!
One of my all time favorite gifts to give the lovely ladies in my life are my Lavender Bath Salts. It is a repurpose project, super simple & really pretty. Get the tutorial HERE.
It truly is the "little things". My Embellished Tea Bags in Mason Jar are tiny presents your favorite tea lovers can enjoy for days & days, each time they brew up a cup.
I made these for Mother's Day, but you can create yours for any occasion, person or event. Would be darling as a favor for a tea, luncheon or shower. Get the tutorial HERE
Specialty foods are always a wonderful gift, especially when homemade.
This recipe for Roasted Cashews in a Mason Jar is simple to make and addictive. Such a yummy flavorful teacher or hostess gift, you'll want to make extra! Get the recipe HERE.
For the person who has everything and loves their dog, why not spoil their furry bff with my Dog Biscuits & Bandana Gift.
This gift can also suit any occasion or time of year. For example, make the bandana red, white & blue for the hostess of a Memorial Day BBQ.
There are so many cute fabrics available you'll have fun finding the perfect pattern for the pooch you have in mind.
It is very satisfying to create something with your own hands and sharing it makes it even better.
Take some time this summer to get creative. Get lost in the process, enjoy ~ then share!
