These are perfect for Christmas, birthdays or any other occasion. Investing time and

thought in presents is really what turns a little present in something big and meaningful,

because it shows that besides the object you're also giving a lot of love.

Hey loves! December is just around the corner and I'm so excited about the Christmas lights,

yummy food and hanging out with friends and family. But this is also the time when we

stress out about the Christmas gifts. But don't you worry, guys, because I've got you

covered. In this video I'm going to show you ten affordable and epic DIY Christmas gift

ideas that you can make for your loved ones. These are also perfect for birthday presents

all year around and of course you can totally just DIY them for yourself. I'm not going

to lie, I'm probably keeping one, two or five gifts for myself. Okay, I hope you guys are

excited, take your crafty spirits out and let's get started.

For someone that loves ice cream and deserts, an ice cream sundae box is a perfect gift!

To make it you need a gift box and a bunch of ice cream related things like cones, cups

and toppings like candy, sprinkles, honey, ice cream scoop, little spoons and decorations.

Now we have to package everything nicely. For the cones, take some cellophane and roll

it like that to make a cone shape. Secure it with a piece of tape. Put in a few ice

cream cones and make a bow on top using ribbon. Pretty cute, right?! Next let's make three

little bags of sprinkles. Here I have blue colored sugar. I also have this beautiful

colorful confetti. Yum! In the third bag I'll pour a bunch of pearl confetti. To decorate

the bags cut a small piece of colored cardboard paper, fold it in half and punch it on the

bag with stapler. This makes the bags look so festive and pretty. I think packing the

cone and toppings into the DIY packages adds so much to this gift box. Fill the box with

other ice cream related goodies like this ice cream scoop. You can fill the handle with

sprinkles! When you make yourself an ice cream you can quickly add some sprinkle yummines

on top of it. So cool, right? I also got these three little jars, which I decided to fill

in with some sugar covered chocolate candy, gummy worms and honey. You can use different

dressings like chocolate or caramel sauce. And of course besides candy you can use chocolate

chips, crushed cookies or chopped nuts, dried fruits and chopped dark chocolate for a bit

healthier options. Just think about the favorite snacks of the person the box is for. I'm adding

two little notes in the box as well. On the first one I wrote Ice cream sundae in a box

and on the other, bon appetit and I added a raffia hanger to both. To make sure the

spoons won't scatter all around the box, let's tie them together and make a bow. We are finally

ready to put all these goodies into the box! I think it looks extra cute if you add some

tissue paper on the bottom – I scrunched two pink pieces and popped them in. You can

make so many different thematic sundae boxes. If you're making it for someone that eats

very healthy you can put in a bunch of different yogurt toppings, like granola, crushed nuts,

seeds and so on. The options are endless. I think an ice cream sundae box like this

will put a big smile on the face of whoever you'll give it to.

Pimping up plain clothes is a great way to make amazing gifts at affordable price. Here,

I transformed a plain sweater into the most adorable cat sweater everyone would love.

All you need to make it is a plain sweater that you can get for very cheap, scissors,

pink and black felt, ribbon and fabric glue. Start by outlining the animal you are going

for. I decided to make a cat so I need a pair of pointy ears, eyes, nose, mouth and whiskers.

Cut all the shapes out. Be creative and make other animals of your choice, like a dog or

bear for example, you can have so much fun designing the sweater. For the nose I am cutting

a little pink heart from a light pink piece of felt, just to make our kitty cat sweater

even more cute. Here's how it looks when we put all the pieces together. Hmm... something

is missing – a little pink bow, so let's quickly make one from a piece of ribbon. Place

the ribbon around the pointer and the middle finger and lead the bottom end up and through

the opening between the two fingers. Tie both ribbon ends together in a knot. Take the bow

off your fingers, trim away the excess ribbon and you are done. These ribbons can be used

for so many DIY projects but today we are using one as a fashionable accessory to our

kitten. All we have to do now is glue the pieces onto the sweater. Fabric glue is completely

washable and should last many years. I am so pleased with how this cat sweater turned

out! Making a present like this is so much better than just buying a fancy expensive

piece of clothing in a store. It really shows that you took time and put effort into creating

a present for someone you love. Plus it's way cheaper for you! This is such a fun and

easy diy project that you can totally make for yourself as well.

A great Christmas or birthday gift idea for any age is this beautiful picture frame. You

need an inexpensive picture frame, acrylic paint, paint brush, glue and some fake flowers.

Fancy picture frames can be quite expensive, while you can get such plain ones for a dollar

or two and you can pimp them up yourself. I decided to color the frame in green and

then decorate it with artificial flowers. If you are giving it away for Christmas you

can switch the color to red and decorate it with snowflakes for example. But I wanted

to make a frame that you can have on your night stand all year around. I applied two

coats of paint to get it nice and opaque. Wait for a few hours or until it is completely

dry and we are ready to glue on some flowers. You can buy such fake flowers on the internet

for super cheap. I still have a lot left from my hair accessories and school supplies tutorials,

remember? I put five flowers on two corners of my frame, but you can stick them all around

the frame if you prefer. In any case the picture frame will turn out gorgeous! Put in a picture

of you and whoever you are giving this frame to – your friend, mom, grandma and I guarantee,

you will melt their heart. I mean... who wouldn't be absolutely blown away by receiving such

a special and thoughtful gift. Every time they will look at this beautiful picture,

they will remember how lucky they are to have such a special person in their life – you.

Every chocolate lover would be thrilled to receive these home made chocolate bonbons.

They are very quick and so much fun to make. You need some silicone molds, chocolate and

toppings like sprinkles and mixed nuts. First we need to melt the chocolate. I’m doing

that in the microwave so I have to break the chocolate into the microwaveable cups. I have

some milk and some white chocolate. Yum, yum! You can also melt your chocolate over the

stove. Once the chocolate is melted, pour it into the mold – I have this heart shaped

one, but you can find so many other cool designs in a store. Flatten the chocolate with a spoon

and then add toppings of your choice. I have some shredded coconut, chopped hazelnuts and

sprinkles for the first three. I want to make more than that so here comes another row of

chocolate yumminess. Here I am also using some blue sugar and pines. Let’s now make

some white chocolate bonbons. Wait what?! I figured that I overcooked mine, so white

chocolate rest in peace. But we're not going to stress about it for too long because I

have some milk chocolate left. Leave them to cool completely, you can also put them

into the fridge for a while. Time to take these babies out of the molds! Look at this

perfection! OMG I'm so proud of myself right now. Totally tapping myself on the shoulder,

no shame. They look so professionally made, right? I'm gonna try this one. No girl these

are not for you, these are for the gift, they look so good I just wanna eat them. Put them

in a jar or a pretty gift box. Decorate it with some ribbon to make it more festive!

You can personalize it for a friend that you are making them for. For example if that person

is all about healthy living use 70% chocolate and top the bonbons with healthy stuff like

nuts and goji berries. These are such a yummy and awesome gift.

Ear hats are a huge trend and you can actually make them yourself! I'm going to show you

how. All you need is an inexpensive hat, two buttons, thread and a needle plus some yarn.

First we need to make two pompoms. Wrap the yarn around the palm of your hand about hundred

times. Trim the excess and take the yarn ball of your hand. Take a short piece of yarn or

thread and wrap it around the yarn ball tightly. You end up with this bow shape. With scissors

cut through the loops on both sides. The bow shape is gone and we end up with a fluffy

yarn ball. Time to make our pompom nice and rounded so just have fun with scissors and

play with it until you are satisfied with how it looks. There we go – this one is

looking pretty posh! But since all the animals have two ears, we have to make the second

pom pom, which has to be of the same size as the first one. Our two balls of fluffiness

are ready and we can attach them to the hat. Thread your needle and make a couple of stitches

for each of the ears. If you want you can just use fabric glue. Since my pom poms are

quite big and heavy I figured that sewing will probably work best for me. Make a final

knot inside the hat, snip away the excess thread and the first ear is done. Do the same

for the other one. Just by adding ears, this hat looks so much prettier than before, right?!

You can totally finish here or you can give our bear a face like me. For the eyes I am

using a couple of white buttons to match the ears. Sew them on a hat using black thread,

which will represent the pupils. Besides being an awesome gift idea, this project is also

great for up-cycling your old hats and refreshing your winter wardrobe. I will definitely make

another one for myself if I give this hat away because I just love it so much. For the

nose and mouth I am using yarn and fabric glue. Make a little oval shape for bear's

nose and a wave for the mouth. Here we have it, our mister bear hat all done and looking

epic. This DIY is really inexpensive, but so unique and special. The lucky person who

receives a gift like that will surely feel special and appreciated.

You know what guys I was thinking that none of my friends have birthdays in the next days

and I am feeling pretty hungry so I am just going to dig into the ice cream box. I have

to give it a little quality control to make sure it's good enough as a gift, right? I

am taking two scoops of raspberry sorbet which is so good! A little whipped cream never hurt

nobody, so let’s put it on top. Time for the toppings! I’m going for some honey first,

because raspberry sorbet can be quite sour and we need to balance it out with sweet honey.

We also have to check out how the sprinkle scoop works! Mmm nice, I'm going to mark it

as approved. All we need now is some décor and an ice cream spoon. How pretty is this

snowflake! You can make decorations like these yourself. Cut some shapes of your choice from

colored paper and stick them on a toothpick. After a quality control has been performed,

I can totally approve this ice cream box as a perfect gift for any occasion! I Love it!

Happy Birthday!

If you need some small and inexpensive presents to give to your friends – these candy bonbons

are perfect. To make them you'll need some candy, ribbon, cellophane, tape, toilet paper

roll, wrapping paper and scissors. Start by wrapping the craft paper around the roll and

secure it with a piece of tape. Fold the extra paper on the sides inside the roll like this.

Pop the candy of your choice into the opening. Take your cellophane and wrap it around the

candy roll. Secure it in place with tape. Make two ribbon bows on the sides and you

get a perfect bonbon shape. How cute are these!? Make a bunch of different colors and give

them to your best friends or you can use them as stocking fillers. Easy, inexpensive and

totally adorable little gifts, I am in love!

Anyone that loves beauty and likes to pamper herself would be happy to receive this moisturizing

body scrub. You need a bowl, a jar, essential oil, food coloring, sugar and coconut oil.

Pour quarter of a cup of melted coconut oil into the bowl and add a cup of sugar. Add

a few drops of essential oil, I am using peppermint and mix in a bit of blue food coloring. Mix

the ingredients together really well. If you need to you can still add sugar or oil at

this point to get the perfect consistency. Pour the scrub into a jar. To make the gift

prettier you can decorate it with stickers – write on a name and stick it on the lid.

I also decided to wrap a piece of white raffia around and make a bow. What a gorgeous little

present right?! Especially in the winter when our skin gets dry it is really important to

exfoliate and moisturize. This scrub works perfectly because it does both – removes

dry skin and death cells plus moisturizes.

Now let's make some marble bowls which are a great decorating and organizing piece for

any age. We're gonna need some clay, a bowl, dough roller and a gold fabric marker. Roll

the colors of your choice into strips like this. I have white, green, violet and yellow.

Now you need to twist all the strips together and the more you twist, the more marbley your

bowls are going to be. I want my design to be quite full so I decided to roll my clay

again and then twist it like that. Just play with it so that the clay colors mix together.

When you feel like you have a good pattern, form the clay into a little marble ball. Place

it on the flat surface and use a roller or something rounded like a vase or a bottle

to flatten it. Just as you would be baking cookies. Place the clay on top of the bowl

and let it dry. Here I made another one. For this one I swirled the clay even more so I

got an even more marbley rustic look. I decided to put it inside the bowl and make the edge

even more wavy, by folding it in. My clay is air drying so I just have to wait for a
