Unfortunately, and understandably, a lot of stores aren't open today. This gift will only work if you're planning on celebrating Christmas this weekend. You'll have to wait to go out and get the materials tomorrow.

Merry Christmas Eve! Now if you're a last minute shopper and need to get that final gift for your mom, sister, aunt, or friend, here you go! This is quick, easy, and of course, wearable.

Have it done by today and they could even wear it tonight. So chic, vintage, elegant, and pretty! Just a few of my favorite things.

This pendant would be perfect for any family member, especially if you pair it with a little personalized note about family.

The link is nice because it's a video tutorial.

Here's something different that I haven't had as one of the 25 days of gifts yet. It's a belt, or if you want to do it on a smaller scale, you could make it into a headband. Also, you could do as many or as few flowers as you want.

This project requires little expertise in sewing and it doesn't require that many materials. Always remember... you can change up the color to whatever you'd like. In addition, you could add pearls and rhinestones to bedazzle it up a bit. This especially looks great worn with dresses and skirts. This would be a perfect gift for a friend that may be getting married in the near future.

Nobody can ever have too many maxi dresses. I absolutely love them and now, you can make your own and one for a friend in different colors and patterns. It's also nice because now you can make it the perfect length to fit any person's height.

Even though I already posted a ruffle tee for one of my days of wearable, handmade gifts, I like this one because it's just a little bit different, especially since they use two different colors for the fabric and the shirt. And.... you can never have too many ruffled tops!

This could be genius! I love finding new ways to use jeans that you just don't love as much anymore, but can't stand to get rid of or you might not have the money to buy new pants. If you're doing this as a gift, Goodwill, Savers, or any thrift store is perfect. Don't go out there and buy a brand new pair of jeans that you're going to end up bleaching and dying anyways.


Disclaimer: Just be sure you bring about asking your loved one/friend for their jean size gently because this could backfire if you go about it in the wrong way. As you know, this can be a very sensitive subject for some ladies.

Here's another great gift for the girlie sports fan in your life.

Make it your own with your loved one's favorite college or NFL team.

The DIY doesn't show a ribbon belt, but I think it really looks nice with the belt. It ties the whole dress's top and bottom together.

It's time to get into baking mode for the holidays, and who says you can't look cute while doing it?! Here's the perfect gift for anybody who loves to bake, cook, and entertain. I know I absolutely love getting new aprons to wear, so I don't dirty my outfit before guests arrive.

This gift is practical and cute all at the same time!

Do you know somebody that loves summer? Give them a little glimpse of it in the middle of winter. This is another great gift that you can make personalized with the fabric and accent flowers you choose.
