Freebie Corner: Last minute gifts made from items at home

By FreeHotSamplesGuest Blogger(view all posts by FreeHotSamples)

under Freebies

The one thing kids like better than giving the gift is making them. Below are a few easy last minute craft gift ideas for kids to make. All of them are easy, (adult supervision recommended of course), and they are great for parents, friends, siblings and other family members.

You probably have many of the items on hand.

My favorite is the Easy Hair Pins, they are great gift for a favorite aunt or older sister. Another one is the 'green' game. You can have the kids use an old board game that they don't play with anymore and refurbish it. Not only will it be a lot of fun creating their own games but they can exchange them at Christmas with siblings.

Idea #1: Easy Hair Pins -  All you need are some bobby pins, glue and vintage earrings that can be picked up at second hand stores. Read More »
