THE ULTIMATE DIY CHRISTMAS GIFT GUIDE - HOME EDITION.
/
The holiday season is drawing near but that doesn't mean there still isn't time to whip up a few diy gifts. I've put together a list of some of my favourite diy's that I've discovered this year and one of my own ;)
I really do love putting together these round-ups so it's probably no surprise that I got a little carried away making this list. I decided to seperate the list up into catergories and first up is the home edition. They're homemade gifts that you can make and give and if you're anything like me maybe keep a few for yourself as well. If you're planning on making a few gifts this year then this is the list for you.
Diy indigo bolster cushion - A Beautiful Mess // Diy Paper Cheese Plant - The House That Lars Built // Diy knit potholders - Homey Oh My // Diy finger knit rope trivet - Flax & Twine // Diy batik catchall bowls - Say Yes // Diy minimal desk tidy - Burkatron // Diy beauty dock - The Merrythought // Diy house photo holder - The Merrythought // Diy Scandi Trivets - The Lovely Drawer.
Dyeing with Indigo: Bolster Pillow DIY
This DIY not only shows you how to create a fun pattern using a shibori binding technique, it gives you some insight into dyeing with indigo. Yes, you’re going to want to Pin this one.
DIY Paper Swiss Cheese Plant
Today I am showing you the swiss cheese plant also known as monstera obliqua. What’s not to like about a plant named for cheese?
DIY Knit Potholders
Knitting is SO relaxing. It’s easy to make the excuse that I don’t have time to knit (or anything else, apparently my favorite excuse for everything) but when I finally got myself to start on this DIY that I’ve wanted to do for so long,
DIY Finger Knit Rope Trivet Tutorial
I love the trivet’s simplicity and natural feel that the rope lends this project. The best part is that you can make the trivet in a jiffy, under a half an hour, with only rope and tape (to keep the rope from fraying)!
DIY Minimal Desk Tidy
I'm a sucker for a clean desk but as much as I try I find bills and paperwork still sneaking their way back. I want them close to hand but I also want them tidy so when I get round to going through them I've not lost that all important receipt or appointment card!
DIY Beauty Dock
This beauty dock is perfect to set on the ledge near the window so you can get ready with a little natural light shining in on your face. Plus… it’s just one of the cutest mirrors ever and a little extra storage never hurts!
DIY HOUSE PHOTO DISPLAY
This project is so simple and looks amazing added to any shelf! Plus it’s a great way to display those photos that you finally get around to printing!
DIY Scandi Trivet Trays
Aren’t they sweet?! Thankfully they look just as nice hanging up in your kitchen, as well as on the table and worktops.

DIY Hanging Organiser
Have a go and maybe get some of your supplies off your desk and onto the wall, making room for other important things…like plants or work snacks. Very important I’m sure you’ll agree.
DIY Marble Tasting Plates for Holiday Entertaining
This design is perfect for Christmas Day, serving up snacks for the family (or just for yourself) to add a little flair to the occasion.
No-Sew Envelope Pillows Made from Napkins
Using napkins, you can make these no-sew envelope pillows in just a few simple steps! The perfect way to add some color and pattern to any room.
How to Make DIY Candles in a Slow Cooker
If you ask me, candles are one of life’s little luxuries. Nothing makes a home feel warm and inviting quite like the soft glow of candlelight combined with a fresh, relaxing scent.
DIY Colour-Dipped Clothes Hamper
We’ve done a colour-dipped basket project before, but I updated my technique a little bit after that version, to make this one much more simple and effective.
DIY gem pull boxes
Two steps! Wow, easy peasy! Hope you get to give it a go and enjoy using them around your home or you could even fill them with something and give them as a gift this Christmas.
DIY Wooden Planter
If your homemaking mantra, like mine, is “Never enough houseplants,” then you might also be ever on the lookout for fun, new planters to hold your green babies. Am I talking about you? Yeah? Well then, this might be the perfect DIY project for you!
DIY citronella candle
Citronella candles are dead easy to make, these ones contain real citronella oil not fragrance so they're more effective! Read on and I'll talk you through the simple process- it involves melting stuff.
Diy oven baked clay hanging planter - Going Home To Roost // Diy geometric concrete planters - Lana Red Studio // Diy marbled leather coasters - Homey Oh My // Diy personalized photo dish - A Beautiful Mess // Diy letter board - Five Marigolds // Diy no-sew rope coil basket - Alice & Lois // Diy glass terrariums - Why Don't You Make Me // Diy room spray - Design Love Fest // Diy stamped clay bowls - Gathering Beauty.
DIY Concrete Planter
The trick is to use clear tape to seal the inside of the mold and prevent the concrete from wetting the paper. I think that this might be the coolest thing that I have ever made from scratch.
DIY Marbled Leather Coasters
I adore these coasters more than I anticipated, like I didn’t know how much they should be in my life until I made them. They’re striking and soft at the same time, gorgeous for any season but they’re especially making me feel very Fall.
DIY Personalized Photo Ring Dish
I love a good ring dish. Especially if you love to do thin stacking rings like I do, it’s a really good idea to have a ring dish at strategic locations in your house (next to the bed, in the bathroom, by the kitchen sink) so you always have a spot nearby when you take off your rings.
DIY Letter Board
Well, hello there (as the sign says)! Today I’m sharing a tutorial for my latest home project: a DIY Letter Board. If you’re been wanting to create a marquee board for your entryway, kitchen, or even a kid’s room, you’re going to love this project!
DIY No-Sew Rope Coil Basket
I have been swooning over all of the simple yet gorgeous rope baskets. I knew I had to figure out an easy way to make one.
DIY Geometric Glass Terrarium
This geometric glass terrarium is probably one of my most ambitious DIY projects to date. I had never worked with glass before but figured, hey, how hard could it be? And it turns out…it’s extremely hard.
DIY Room Spray
Flowers are blooming and Spring is finally here (yay!). What better way to enjoy the change of season than by bringing the freshness of outside, into your home! These room sprays are both functional and beautiful, and can be made with a wide range of essential oil combinations to suit your fancy.
How To Make Air Dry Clay Bowls
Learn how to make your own beautiful stamped clay bowls using air dry clay. Not only is it strong and durable but there is no firing or baking required.
Stay tuned for the next installment of diy gifts next week and happy crafting.
