8 inexpensive and easy-to-make gifts

The options that we show you below, in addition to being clear and simple examples, do not require a lot of money to be carried out.  So you don’t have to worry about the budget.

Spices to flavor food

This is a very practical idea to give to a lover of the kitchen. You can use small glass jars or even light bulbs for spices, they will become very original containers! Add  salt flakes, pepper balls, chia seeds, dried thyme, rosemary or parsley to each jar or container .

You can create your own spice mixes and give it a more Provencal flair; a Moroccan touch with cumin or Mexican with ground chilies.

Terrariums

Plants have become very fashionable and terrariums are beautiful gifts; there are many ways to do them. Take a glass jar or an old fish tank, put soil in the bottom and put different small plants in the container. You can order them as you see fit.

Add decorative motifs such as stones, pearls or a plastic figure. Finish your terrarium, adding a tea candle or a garland of LEDs to give it a more romantic touch.

Original candle holder

Candles are a safe bet, everyone likes them and they are very beautiful and useful decorative elements. You can decorate a glass yogurt jar with colored strips, stones, trinkets, and strings. Glue these elements with the help of a silicone gun and place them in the way you like best.

Depending on the size of the jar you select will be your candle holder, add the candles that best suit the container so that they fit properly and can be easily removed when they are consumed.

Natural air freshener with essential oils

There is nothing better than a home with a pleasant smell. To give your own personal touch to the house of your friend or family member, you can make a beautiful natural air freshener from essential oils.

Get a small pitcher, glass bottle, or mason jar. Add in it the essential oil that you like the most; We recommend the scents of orange, lavender, mint or cedar.

Decorate the jug with a bow or a more rustic string. Close the jar and do not forget, when wrapping the gift, to add the bamboo sticks that will make the smell spread throughout the space.

Scarves, gloves or hats

If you are good at sewing, you can find many tutorials that teach you how to sew a hat, gloves or a scarf from a simple ball of wool.

You can do it while watching a series or a movie, because it doesn’t require a lot of attention, just time. It can become your new hobby, many people have been hooked and they do real wonders with their hands.

Cup holder

If as a child if you liked board games, surely you have forgotten a ‘Scrabble’ in a closet. That traditional game where you have to form words from a specific number of letters.

If you are not going to use it, you can take the pieces of the letters and make very original cup holders. Make a square shape with a piece of cork and put the letters on top forming the words you prefer.

Mat

Another idea that we propose is to make a trivet with wine corks. They can be done in many ways.

Form a square base of fine cork, cut the wine corks in half horizontally and glue the smooth part on the cork; Help yourself with a silicone gun. Cover the entire surface with the pieces of wine cork.

You can cut the wine corks into small pieces, as if you were cutting a loaf of bread. Glue each cork circle to the surface until it is covered.

Here are some simple, inexpensive ideas that can work very well. Feel free to let your imagination fly and give it your personal touch. Giving away items that you have made yourself can be very rewarding. Sure you will be right.
