My Favorite DIY Gift Ideas


I am joining my friends from the Thrift Store Decor Team in sharing some of our favorite DIY gift ideas.  We were recently chatting about what a great advantage we would have should the gift selection at our local retails stores continue to be quite lean.  Couple the shortage of product with potential shipping issues and we decided to gather our favorite easy DIY projects to share with our wonderful readers.

I have selected my favorite DIY gift project from each of my Thrift Store Decor Team friends and I am sharing each specific link for your pleasure.  At the end of these projects is an entire collection of DIY gift ideas we have hand selected to share with you.  So should you be disappointed by local stock or affected by shipping delays, you can still be ready with fabulous gifts for all your special friends and family this Christmas!  Enjoy!
