My Brother is a champion fisherman, he fishes off the jetties in Galveston and brings home the bounty to his family. He also is the one person you can never find a gift for. So I turned my DIY gift ingenuity into gold when I decided to make him a set of fishing lures from the bottlecaps from his Heineken beer bottles. He laughed so hard, and set it in his office as a part of his cute coastal fishing decor and it was a very proud moment for me, to know my mean Bubba thought I did something cute. If you need an awesome DIY Father’s Day gift idea or a cool homemade Christmas present for Dad, try making these fun bottle cap fishing lures.

I love DIY leather crafts and any project utilizing scraps of leather pieces because I have so many laying around my craft room.

DIY Gifts For Men | Cool Ideas for Your Boyfriend, Husband, Dad , Father , Brother | Cool Homemade DIY Crafts Men Love to Receive for Christmas, Birthdays, Anniversaries and Valentine’s Day | Woodsy DIY Beard Oil Stocking Stuffer Idea

My husband grew a beard, well I never was that taken with the Grizzly Adams mountaineer look, but its grown on me. My only issue with his beard was that it could feel a bit bristly when he snuggled with me at night. I started doing some research and realized beard oil was the answer to the problem. Imagine your hair without conditioner, not a good look as we all know. So I let him pick out the essential oil smells he liked and I mixed it with grapeseed oil which is lovely and light and does not make his beard oily at all, just soft as a kitten. Now every night when I cuddle my sweet fury bear I melt into his soft, delicate fur and get cozy on a long Winter’s night. If you need cool DIY stocking stuffer ideas for him or an inexpensive Christmas present for men, this homemade beard oil is one of the best of the best ideas to make.

Leather is my favorite DIY medium to work with because its so easy and glues extremely well, holds magnificently, lasts forever, and looks so classy. I made this pouch toolkit for my Son using this simple cut and sew tutorial, but I used leather glue that I got from Tandy Leather Company, it holds anything. I make all my leather skirts and vests with it, then maybe a little hand whip topstitching for added flair. This makes a great Christmas gift idea for guys – a hairdresser (scissors & combs), a makeup artist (brushes). Any person who needs, a place for their tools will love this.
