Anyone else loves making DIY stocking stuffers? In my opinion, stockings are one of the best parts of Christmas. So much fun to give little tiny things people enjoy oohing and aahing over. Handmade little things that let your friends and loved ones know how much you were thinking of them mean even more. Cheaper to make than buy, too, these DIY stocking stuffer ideas are all relatively quick and inexpensive (tiny) DIY gift ideas for Christmas presents. These little DIY gifts are so cute and adorably tiny, perfect for fitting inside a Christmas stocking or little birthday gift. Also awesome addition to any DIY gift in a jar, these fun homemade DIY crafts are sure to make them smile.

Origami Paper Mini Books, a stocking stuffer, low mess and low stress to make and an idea worth saving for later

These DIY mini books are the cutest thing I’ve ever seen! Some things are worth making, even if you can’t quite figure out what they’re good for. I’ve folded origami books from a single sheet of paper before, but this version, created from several pieces of paper, is easier. And I daresay, even cuter! The finished mini books are 1.5″ square when made from 6″ x 3″ pieces of paper (one decorative sheet for the cover and seven plain sheets for the interior.) I used plain computer paper for the inside, and sheets from the for the covers. The patterns are printed on coated paper (unlike more typical uncoated origami paper) and reversed on the back side of each sheet.

I saw this DIY craft popsicle stick bracelet project on Pinterest and I was intrigued to make my own version of wooden bracelets! How genius is it to create bracelets out of stirrers or finished popsicles! This DIY is still pretty easy yet a little time consuming(takes 2-3 days) and it requires patience which I think is the hardest part in this DIY of mine. But at the end its rewarding because you’ll harvest these amazing bracelets which I think it makes a great gift as well!

Since I lover experiments, I’ve alwaysnloved to create, paint, as well as cook and style food. I feel in love with DIY as soon as I discovered it and could not have been more excited when I learned I could share projects with people around the world. Taking photos is a passion of mine, as is design and painting with oils. I love holidays and celebrations, crafting cute little gifts and serving up at least one new recipe I am excited about.
