Day 13 of Wearable, Handmade Gifts: Script Scarf

Does you friend or family member have a favorite quote, poem, saying, song lyrics, etc.? Then, I'm sure they would love receiving a gift like this. You can make it personalized to say whatever you want. This is simple with limited materials. Unless the person doesn't like receiving compliments, then maybe this isn't the gift for them because I'm sure everybody is going to want you to make one for them.

This is a great gift for the antique/vintage lover. The only thing that might prove to be challenging is finding buttons you like, and for cheap. I would try any antique shops/malls.

Here's a great way to be creative, and if you have kids, you can even have them join in to help! All you need for this craft is: Elmer's Blue Gel Glue, Fabric Dye, and a white cotton clothing item. Now.... get those brain juices flowing and think of some fun and fresh idea that fits the gift receiver's personality, and then you have a perfect gift that comes with thought.

Day 10 of Wearable, Handmade Gifts: Embellished Rain Boots

12/10/2013

Who wants just the same ol' run-of-the-mill rain boots?! I know I wouldn't, and if you're thinking, who even needs rain boots? Believe me, they come in handy more than you think. When I first got mine, I was avoiding puddles without even knowing it and then I realized, "Wait, I can just walk through the water with no problems." They keep your feet dry and warm during any rainfall. (I wouldn't recommend them in snow unless they are insulated because regular rain boots are not and then you'll just be uncomfortable). So now that we have that out of the way, why not give somebody you love rain boots that they actually want to wear and like wearing?! There is no reason not to! These are cute and perfect, and you can decide what ribbon fits best with that person's personality.

Day 8 of Wearable, Handmade Gifts: Sports T-Shirt Scarf

12/8/2013

This scarf is perfect for the sports fan in your life, especially if the team they support is during the cold weather months AND outdoors. You can make it for any team, and the person you're making it for probably doesn't already have something like it. Not only is it practical, but cute too! I know I would sure love ones like this for The Badgers and The Packers.
