Part TWO of DIY Favorite Gifts of All Kinds. I went through my ENTIRE archive and tagged my favorites (and really popular posts) that can be easily finished by the Holidays here: truebluemeandyou.tumblr.com/tagged/faves Embroidered Heart Box Tutorial from Family Chic here. DIY Crystal Bobby Pins Tutorial from annekata here. Pearl or Rhinestone Hair Combs Tutorial from flax & twine here. Fork Magnets Tutorial from Poopscape here. DIY Inspiration: Buffy the Vampire (or other pop culture icon) Definition Necklace here. From Etsy but store closed. Simple DIY with all the supplies from Michaels. Hobbes from the Calvin and Hobbes Comic Strip Tutorial from Instructables here. Lots of hand stitching, but cheap materials. Free Pattern for Sock Monkey Hats from Vintage Umbrella here. *If you like a pattern COPY IT. Just tried to post another pattern and it has been taken down. Probably not in time for Christmas - but cute. Altoids Tin Survival Kits from Field & Stream here. Easy Constellation Embroidery from A Can of Crafty Curiosities here. French knots on black fabric or a reader suggested drops of 3D beading glow in the dark paint. Harry Potter fan? Do the Draco Constellation.

Gifts for parents, friends, family etc… For more DIY gift ideas go here: truebluemeandyou.tumblr.com/tagged/diy-gift-guide Easy Braided Bead Necklace from Tara Fra Sahara here. An older child could do this, it’s basically braiding beads into the strand.
