Homemade Christmas Gift Ideas

Executive Summary Bykatty

Creating Christmas gifts by hand is always a winning gift idea for anyone you may be close to.
Your picture. But not just any old picture.

Sand that piece of wood down smoothly, then coat it with a nice stain color. Next cover it with a few coats of clear sealant. Place your picture centered on the wood and press it down firmly. You can use a family picture for this project as well, and you can even use a much larger piece of wood and create a whole collage using multiple pictures.

Ornament pictures. Just buy some flat, light weight wood pieces at a craft store, or by some plywood and cut it into the shapes and sizes you want.

Then put small wallet sized pictures on them using glue or the finish mentioned above. You might even paint these in different colors first, then apply the pictures over the painted wood. Drill or punch a small hole in the top of the wood piece, then thread some pretty matching ribbon through for hanging.
