When I have my Kgirl Enterprises fashion/advice chain of shops around the world, I’m going to make sure my merchandise is AFFORDABLE. I think about it a lot this time of year when I’m shopping for friends and family with a very tight budget.Until then, I’ve got some DIY (that’s do-it-yourself) gifts that are cheap, fun, and fabulous!
Berry Moss Wreath
What’s cool about the Berry Moss Wreath is that it’s actually ALIVE! That’s right—when you decorate your straw wreath with live moss, it’ll continue to grow on the straw!
What You’ll Need:
A small straw wreath (you can find these at most craft stores)
Floral Pins
Ribbon
Glue gun and glue sticks
Spool of green, medium gauge floral wire (found at most crafts stores)
Plastic grocery bags
Moss (usually found on rocks and trees in the woods or near lakes and rivers)
Berries (still on a branch)
Other pretty stuff you can find in the woods
Instructions:
1. Get outdoors! Grab a friend and find a patch of woods where you have permission to take things from. Gather live moss by lifting it gently off rocks and trees. Try not to tear small pieces—you’ll want large, flat pieces to cover your wreath. Shake out excess dirt, and look closely to make sure there aren’t any bugs—ewww!
2. Collect branches with red berries or buds on them, pine cones, tree bark, and other pretty stuff, and put it into the plastic grocery bags to take back with you.
3. Once you’ve returned to your workspace, cover the entire wreath with the moss using floral pins to secure it. Make sure the moss is fitted tightly onto the wreath—you might need a friend’s help on this!
4. Arrange your ribbon, berries, branches, pinecones, etc. in a design that you like on your wreath. Tightly wrap the floral wire around the wreath and your items so that they won’t come off. You can also use a glue gun to arrange your items the way you want them to look.
5. Use a wide piece of ribbon to make a large bow, and use a floral pin to fasten it in place on your wreath.
6. Use extra floral wire to make a hanger for the wreath if you want it to hang on a door, or place a large candle inside the wreath to make a beautifully festive centerpiece!
Homemade Jewelry Box
OK, I’ll admit. This gift is not 100 percent homemade, but the creativity factor is a 10+. Here is one way to decorate:
What You’ll Need:
An unfinished wood box with a clasp (found at most craft stores)
Washable paint
Paint brushes
Sandpaper
Stencils (optional)
Felt (enough to cover the inside of the box)
Glue gun
Scissors
Ruler
Pencil
Newspaper
Instructions:
1. Put on some old clothes and lay the newspaper over your workspace to protect it from any paint spatters!
2. Make sure the box is closed, then use the sandpaper to lightly sand the outside of the box to brush away any dust or splinters.
3. Here’s the fun part! On the outside of the box, design and draw (or stencil) a design on the top, sides, and bottom using a pencil.
4. Paint inside your pencil lines according to your festive and fun design! Be careful not to paint over the hinges or clasp of the box.
5. Let the paint sit and dry completely.
6. Once the paint is dry, open the box. Cut out enough felt to cover the bottom, top, and sides of the inside of the box.
7. Use the glue gun to fasten the felt to the top and bottom of the inside.
8. Trim any extra felt with scissors, and then let the glue dry.
*You can also take magazine or newspaper clippings and cover the outside of the box in a collage design. Use a glue stick to glue the clippings on the box, then use a sealer called Modge Podge (found at most craft stores) to paint over the clippings.
Holiday Ornament
This one is SUPER easy to make. It’s also a good babysitting or sleepover craft!
What You’ll Need:
One medium-sized Styrofoam ball for each ornament you make
Pipe cleaners
Fabric quilting squares (found at most craft stores)
Ribbon
Puff-paint or glitter pen (optional)
Glue gun
Instructions:
1. Stick a pipe cleaner (or two) into the Styrofoam ball to make a hook or loop. This will keep your ornament attached to your Christmas tree, door knob, whatever.
2. Use scissors to cut out shapes of fabric and ribbon.
3. Use the glue gun to fasten the fabric, ribbon, sparkles—whatever!—onto the Styrofoam ball.
4. Using the puff-paint or glitter pen, write a short message to the gift recipient on your ornament—remember to put the date, too!
you tell us ... 
What are some of YOUR favorite homemade gifts from the heart?

Legendarydefense- I have 26 webkinz, and I luv them, especially the cute little kinz! My favorite homeade gift would be a coupon book made by you. There are no special directions, just right some nice things you could do for someone like wash their car. It's cute and its more special if its made personally by you!!  |

Webkinz Boat! rectangle styrafome (5x15in.) square styrafome (5x5in.) popsicle stix x 2 fabric (any color) (triangle) 7in x 7in x7 in (x 2) sharpie in any color. scissors superglue Cut the front of the styrafome to make the rectangle a pentagon. Cut to about 2 1/2 inches away from the top. Then, cut about a 4x4 square about1/2 inch away from the edge of where you stopped cutting. Take a centimeter high of the block, cut it out, and put superglue on the edges. Glue it in the bottom of the hole from cutting out the block. It will be 1 seat for a webkinz. Then, take the bigger block. Make it hollow. have at least 1 cm. perimiter. again, that is all it is. perimiter.glue it on, you have another seat. Take the popsicle stix. Lay one one one side, one on the other on top of 1 fabric piece. Have about 4 in. beetween them. glue them on, and put glue on the edges of the fabric. Put the other piece of fabric on top, and align the corners. stick it in the styrafome like a flag. write ss ______ or something on the sides and... WAH-LAH! U have a webkinz boat! Hope you like the idea! -LegendaryDefense PS I have 56 webkinz, how many do you have?  |

I just decorated a jean purse with some beads (i put them on the little metal things on the strap, attached with thin ribbon), put some of those pin-buttons on, put some striped ribbon on the metal-handle thingy, put a keychain that says "yes, in fact it does hurt when i smile" on it too. Everything matches! (The beads and pin and ribbon and stuff. =p) I love it!!  |

In my opinion, creativity is the key to making fabulous gifts. Plus, you can use old scraps to make something better than something you buy at the store. I personally enjoy baking goodies (and making chocolate in fun shapes- it's so cool!) and making stationary online. |

Yo Katti, my anklets have one central bead and symmetric beads elsewhere, location depends on the reciever's personality. If a reciever is quiet, then they are grouped together. If they aren't a quiet person, then the beads are everywhere. Wow it's really cool that you put so much thought into your anklets and make them unique for each person. I love that idea! |

Once a friend came over to my house in the summer and we made school supplies. We made a 3 ring notebook covered with old jeans. So you could stick your pencils in the pockets and hold your school papers inside. We sold them at an arts festival. They were a big hit and we sold out. People ordered them for holiday presents. |

The Holidays are over, but that doesn't mean you need to stop giving gifts! Make a card and write a sweet note inside, then give it to a friend! Here's a very fun idea: Make a calender for whatever the next month is, and write down fun things to do each day. Give it to your friends or family, and they will have a lot of fun completing the activities! Here's another fun idea: Make your own game! Think about your favorite game, then personalize your own version! Do you love Monopoly? Make one with places in your neighborhood or house. Do you like matching games? Make one with your friends pictures! Have fun making things all year long!!! |

I know a perfect gift for my sister, a plain white t'shirt, but wait! It is no ordinary t'shirt. What you do is sew beads and buttons on it. Or you get bunches of the t'shirt and tie them in knots. Then you sink them in dye and it will make a pattern. If your really good, then you can embroider things like flowers and butterflies on it. And you can dye the t'shirt a different colour. I myself have made these t'shirts. Hope you make them too, *Feistlover* That sounds a little like tie-dye, right? Way to rock the retro style! |

When I was in the fourth grade, we made Christmas ornaments. If only they had more art supplies, I would've made it sooo eye-catching. I would've painted it pink with purple sparkles and with blue glitter all over it. But instead, I mixed red and blue together to make the ornament purple. It was good, it turned out great. It's awesome that you did your creative thing, even though you didn't have a ton of stuff to work with. |

You had some great ideas Katani but I love to make trail mix and put them in jam jars. I also like to roast almonds we get from our almond tree. The last idea I have (this is for you Marty) is I like to pick out fabric, cut them into shapes, and sew them on a sewing machine, leave a little hole to stuff cotton balls in, finally sew it shut and have your pets go crazy over something you made yourself. I hope you enjoy these suggestions! TTFN |

hmmm.... well I luv decoupage, its simple and cool! so many choices. but dont overload!!!Getting some cute fabric is great to spice up something old! look at a design or clothing and use as inspiration! u can give these to bffs too! neckrolls ( take an old sock and stuff a grain like rice in it) are simple and quick, too! |

In class we are working on writing personalized poems and my best friend is writing a poem about our first playdate . I was compleatly happy when I heard she was taking her time to write me a poem and i cant wait to read it at the end of this friday because thats when vacation is. I think this poem she is writing for me is going to make me extremly thankful for having a best friend as good as her. I am writing one for my grandma and my teacher said that it makes your parents cry and your grandparents cry becuase it is a personilizd gift that anyone can take there time and do. I wrote about Christmas day and going to her house every year. I hope some of ur BSG fans will try this because it can truly touch someones heart! Luv Ya! ThinkPink16 Hey ThinkPink16! That's a super-thoughtful gift. Charlotte would be totally into it! |

Labartini, I think you can spray paint pinecones. Another fun (and messy) thing to do is melt a candle (make sure it stays a liquid) and then dip the pinecone in a few times it is awesome! |
