DIY gift for friend
Are you the type that likes to make gifts with your own hands? The ‘Do It Yourself’ style is perfect for creating something unique and lovingly for your best friend. Get creative with the following tutorials!
21. Three DIY Tips for Best Friends
- You can make a super cute gift with a pot of olives, pieces of bond paper and a pen. The idea is to write affectionate messages for the friend and keep it in the potty.
- Another tip from Bruna is to make a small heart out of paper, paint it with red paint and put it through a necklace. You can give your whole heart to your friend, or split it in two so that they each have a piece. Cute, huh?
- The best gift is usually accompanied by food, isn’t it? With a cardboard box in hand, put goodies inside, close with a bow and finish decorating as you wish. Your friend will love it!
22. Photo clothesline
To make the clothesline, you will need string and several photos of your friend (alone, with you, with the family, etc). Use clothespins to attach the photos to the string and you’re done! If you prefer, you can paint the pegs in different colors to make the gift even more beautiful.
23. Diamond luminaire
You will need 24 barbecue sticks cut into four different sizes to assemble the diamond lamp. Join all the corners with epoxy putty and let it dry for a day. After sanding the ends, paint the color you prefer and fit the light fixture. A very Pinterest-style gift that will make your friend in love!
24. Foot spa kit
Build a spa day box with creams, moisturizers, soaps and other products your friend loves! You can also put a small loofah, scented candles and colorful towels to give it an extra charm.
25. Personalized mug with permanent pen
Does your friend love to have afternoon coffee or tea? Nothing better than making a personalized mug for her! In a plain mug (whichever color you prefer), make drawings, write messages and unleash your creativity to decorate.
26. Kit for best friends
- The first tip is to wrap a book with coloring illustrations in brown paper. To add a touch of charm, tie markers to the packaging.
- Another option is to add cement mixed with a little water into a juice box cut in half. Fit a light bulb into the dough and let it dry. Remove the juice box that served as a mold and customize the cement the way you prefer (with phrases and drawings, for example).
- You can also gift your friends with beautiful buttons! To make it, mold small moons with durepoxy putty, paint them and nail each one with a pin.
- For the 4th tip, print a full size photo of you and your friend together and stick it on a cardboard. Cut out the entire image to create a unique puzzle that represents your special friendship!
- You can even make a personalized coloring book for your friend. First, search the internet for coloring images, print them and with them assemble the personalized notebook with EVA cover and satin ribbons.
27. Seasoning Kit
