I'm not going to sit here and pretend i'm a DIY goddess or anything, in fact i'm quite the opposite, but it doesn't stop me from trying. I think a lot of crafting tutorials can look pretty daunting and usually there are so many products you need to buy, you might as well just buy the thing you want outright! But when it comes to Christmas and other special occasions, I do think it's nice to just go for it and give DIY projects a good old go!
Personally I love handmade items, whether it's something made by a friend or bought from a little independent shop, they're usually more rustic and unique, and just kinda mean that little bit more!
I've gone through Pinterest and the internet for some fun DIY gift ideas, and have collected by favourites below, which ones will you try?
