Christmas Gift Ideas Welcome back to year six of our Festive Christmas Event where we team up with a bunch of talented blogging friends to bring you a plethora of creative ways to celebrate your holiday season. The blog post today shares four DIY gift ideas for teens made by teens themselves. They are some pretty cute ideas.

We will be baking some cookie recipes for you, sharing some party games, making some handmade gifts, doing some ornament crafting and sharing our Christmas movie family fun ideas. There will be breakfast recipes and as always our decorated Christmas Trees which is always a fun tour of homes.

New this year are Gift Guides. We are right there with you shopping from home due to Covid 19 and we understand how hard that can be. So, we have been busy little Elves doing tons of research to create fabulous Gift Guides to help you with your holiday shopping. You can see my ideas for kitchen gifts here and teen gift ideas here.

You will find new ideas every Monday and Wednesday between Oct. 19th through Nov. 18th. Scroll all the way down to find all the ideas linked at the end.     These gifts were made by three of my cute grand daughters. They choice the ideas out themselves by looking at all kinds of posts from Pinterest and made them their own.

Four DIY Gifts For Teens

 

Idea #1 – Wood Bead and Alphabet Bracelets Supplies:

 

Supplies For Bracelets

 

Instructions:

  • To start measure the string loosely around the wrist and add four inches. Cut.
  • Insert the string into the hole of a bead and tie a knot around the bead at one end of the string. This is to hold the other beads on as you put them on the string.

  • Starting with the wood beads of your choice string about 6-8 depending on the size of the wood beads you are using. You may need to add more depending on how you want the bracelet to fit.
  • Add the alphabet beads in the word or name you have chosen. 

 

Bailey Bracelet

 

  • Add more wood beads to finish the bracelet.
  • Insert the end of the string into the starting bead’s hole and tie a knot around it.
  • Optional – Put a little dab of glue on the knots to hold.

  • Using the E-6000 glue center and attach the mirror to the painted side of the wood circle.
  • Place the clothespins around the edge of the wood circle with the clip part of the clothespins out. Make sure they are all evenly spaced.

 

putting a mirror and clothespin hanger together

 

  • Place a bit of glue on half of the bottom side of the clothespin that will attach to the wood circle. Let all the glued pieces dry thoroughly.
  • Glue a loop of ribbon on the top of the backside of the wood circle to hang.
