In today’s post: Find 25 ideas for cheap DIY gifts that look like a million bucks.
I LOVE making handmade Christmas gifts – but they can get expensive. I prefer DIY gifts that don’t cost an arm and a leg…but I don’t mind if they look like they did! 😉
I’ve collected 25 DIY Gifts that won’t cost much to make but still turn out out gorgeous! Many of these gifts can be made for around $5 each (especially if you’re making multiples) and none of them should run you more than $10.
NOTE: As with all roundups, if you want to pin a particular project it’s nice to click through to the original post to do so. Feel free to pin the collage image above to remember where to find all the ideas in one place!

This is a really good list. Sometimes you need inexpensive gifts for a gift exchange. Some require small daily gifts then a big gift. I have saved this to my $5 Gifts Pinterest board: https://www.pinterest.com/thelostapron/5-gifts/
