19 DIY Gifts & Crafts To Giveaway OR Sell!

Here are (19) DIY gift / craft ideas to either give away OR sell – you decide. But I love crafty ideas made from things I could very well have in my garage or craft drawer already!!

Fun, Fun! Get with a girlfriend (or 2) and have a craft day! 🙂

1) China Plate Cake Stand or Kitchen Accessory Holder: To purchase these china plate stands, click here. OR make one yourself. Find a plate that you LOVE and use an epoxy glue to attach to an inexpensive wine goblet. Use to hold cake or cookies…but I’ve also seen it used on a kitchen counter near the sink to hold soap and a sponge. Be creative and find your own cool way to use it! Oohhh…or near your Keurig to hold your coffee-pod options…just a thought!

2) Lollipop Stand: Perfect for a gift OR a simple give-a-way on your desk or counter.

This simple lollipop stand is made from a small flower pot – painted in your favorite color. Then place inside a round, styrofoam ball and secure with glue around the edges. And then simply insert the lollipops! Easy-peasy 🙂

3) Nail Cross Pendant: For more on how to make this yourself, click here!

4) Dishwasher Magnet – Clean or Dirty: What a great idea! Perfect for my daughter and her roommates in their college apartment – they never know if they’re coming or going! All you need are some Scrabble letters, felt, magnet and glue! For step by step instructions, click here!

5) Football Fan “Onsie”: The perfect game-day attire for the little ones! And so easy to make. The brown ‘onsie’ can be found at Hobby Lobby (per this mom) and she simply backstitched some white felt to look like the stitching on a football. She did use a ‘hoop’ to hold the material in place but otherwise, a fairly simply craft. Thanks!!

6) Seatbelt Pillow: What a great way to help your little traveler made the road trip to…Grandmas? or Disney?
