This morning I shared how you can give the gift of relaxation this Christmas with luxurious bath bombs. Here’s another gift idea for the bath-lover in your life – a fancy-schmancy cedar bath caddy. Julie, a contributor on Sawdust Girl, shows how you can turn cedar fence posts into this bath caddy that looks gorgeous and holds everything needed for a nice soak in the tub. She says, “What could be better for $5 in an hour or less?”
There’s nothing that relaxes me quite like a nice soak in the tub. Throw in a bath bomb, and I’m in heaven! However, like Angela from Bare Root, I have a hard time stomaching $5 and up for one of those luscious bombs. That’s one pricey bath! Angela discovered that she could turn ingredients from around the house into her own bath bombs. So how about giving the gift of pampering and relaxation this holiday season?
Navigating through crazy traffic, waiting in long lines, and fighting off exhaustion… If you joined in the holiday shopping madness this weekend, this may sound all too familiar. While it may show your friends and family just how much you care, in my opinion nothing beats a good old fashion handmade gift. So for the next week I will be sharing DIY gift ideas sure to please everyone on your list – knock-off style of course!
Burlap is something pretty much every crafty person has on hand. Why not turn a scrap of that fabric into a rustic Christmas tree? Melissa from Two It Yourself made a cone using a piece of cardstock then hot glued on strips of burlap to create loops. Here’s what Melissa has to say about her little burlap tree: “This project was simple and it didn’t cost me a dime because I had everything on hand. Even if you don’t have burlap in your stash at home, you can still get by making this project for less than $5…”
Jaime from That’s My Letter shows how you can turn scrap wood and a couple of dowels into an adorable personalized jewelry stand. I love the addition of the crystal knob and beads for a timeless and classy look. This would make a wonderful gift for a special little lady in your life!
