I love those honeybear vases! So cute and what a great idea. I am making some earrings right now out of cut up pens! Ha. Sounds weird but they are cute! I’ll post them this week. Thanks for sharing, Elsie. Inspiring!
Great gift ideas – every year I mean to make presents and every year I leave it too late!
Wow I love that horse stamped dress!

Fabulous ideas! I missed a few of these the first time they were posted. I love the bleach-painted top; have to try that. My husband’s actually restoring an old bike right now. It’s hunter green with red and gold accents–very cheery.
hand dyed tights for my lady friends. If I can’t find white tights then I’ll make scarves or somethin’. It’s a mystery until I find the material to dye. Lol
Amazing ideas, I especially love the tent and the sharpie mug ideas!

This year for homemade gifts I am gluing painted sticks to boring candles to give them a wintery look. I am also repainting old picture frames and turning them into mini chalkboards. I get a lot of inspiration from your DIYs!
I somehow missed those gold bears! Love them. And they’ll go perfect in my new office. Thanks girls!
It’s like you KNEW I wanted to make some DIY gifts! Lovely post!

For the past few weeks i’ve been trying to decide what to get my parents, i want something personal and with meaning and this post gave me a great idea. I’m going to get their wedding picture transferred into a canvas, or enlarged into black and white picture.
Thank you for sharing!

One year I’m going to gift myself the repainted bicycle – mine is so rusty and gross! First we need a garage so the same thing doesn’t happen again. Such a great collection of DIY gifts 🙂

That T-Shirt bleaching idea is perfect!
Not only for gifts but it’s SUCH a nice way to make your own fun clothing!
Also, that Bow-tie is so fun! I will definitely make that for my dad!! I also made him vinyl record bowls! They are really easy and fun to make too! 😀
Love, Saar
Love the magazine rack and the water glass! 🙂
I may have to look more into the recipe book because I’ve loved the idea of making one since you ladies first posted about it a while back..of course, I’d keep it for myself but still. =)
This holiday season, I’m making super hero capes for my guy’s little brothers and nephew and also working on (and hopefully finishing!) my and his initials embroidered to hang up or do something creative with..not sure what yet.
Thanks for all the fun ideas all year long, ladies & gent!
Hand printed dress is so cool! I should try to make one for myself someday 😉
Saludos,
Clau!
