diy monday: 10 (easy) last minute holiday gifts

 Can you believe Christmas is only SIX days away? My, this year has flown. If you've still got a few gifts to shop for, consider these quick and easy handmade gift ideas...









10. Colorblock earrings by Lindsay of Delighted Momma

Which is your favorite? I'm partial to the mercury glass candle holders, and I've got some metallic spray paint laying around, so I'm planning to give them a try soon! I hope your holiday shopping and gifting is wrapping up (pun definitely intended)!

xoxo.

P.S. I found a lot of these DIY projects on Pinterest, of course, but I've linked to the original sources here.

P.P.S. A very happy birthday to my brother (today), and my dad (last Friday)

I was just going to comment that these were such great ideas, and then I saw my candles... great ideas, indeed :)

I have left way more of my handmade gift making to the last minute than I should have. We'll see how that works out for me (time crunch can make crafting a little less fun...), but if all else fails I'm doing those gold-dipped glasses. Love!

These are all fantastic but I'm especially loving the dipped glasses. I'm always looking for a simple way for folks to i.d. their bevvies so I might try doing up a set in different colors.

Katie, this is such a great round up! Thank you so much for including my tote.
There is nothing more special than a handmade gift.
Hope your holidays are filled with blessings!

What great treasures! The hot cocoa kit is awesome, especially as someone who can't get enough of festive, warm beverages. I'm also really liking the map photo frame. Such a creative way to add some whimsy to an elegant photo (like the one pictured here). Thanks for the ideas!
