Hi everyone,
So today we're going to talk about sustainable homemade presents. If you start now, then some of these would make amazing Christmas presents.
1. Knitting, crochet, embroidery & more yarn items
You can make some incredible presents by knitting or crocheting with wool or thick yarn. All you need are needles and wool/yarn. Wool can be expensive if you want good quality so check out this post about making your own yarn out a t-shirt! With thinner yarn you could make some amazing thing through embroidery. Here are some project ideas:
- Scarfs
- Socks
- Blankets
- Jumpers
- Pouch
- Dishcloths
- Table mat
- Headband
- Fingerless gloves
- Keychains
- Friendship bracelets
- Wall decorations
- Handles for hot pots and pans
- Figurines
- Bag designs
2. Origami
Origami is an amazing way to show someone that you put time into what you made. You can use paper of any size, colour or pattern. Here are some ideas:
- Swans
- Hearts
- Small boxes
- Stars
- Butterflies
- Boats
- Birds
- Lotus flowers
- Cranes
- Owls
- Pots
- Pencil holders
- Rabbits
- Jumping frogs
- Bookmarks
Art
If you are good at painting or sketching, then why not make a picture for someone you love. Paints may not be great for the environment but almost everyone has an old set lying around that they know they will never use. As for sketching, it's not hard to get your hands on a pencil! Here are some ideas for what you could paint/sketch:
- You and the person together
- Your/their favourite place
- Rainbow
- Waterfall
- Hearts
- Animals (if they love animals)
- Forest scene
- Characters from their favourite series/film/book
- Your favourite memory with them
- Something with their favourite colours
