Christmas is still a few weeks away, but it’s never too early to start planning your gifts—especially if you’re going to make them yourself. Finding time to work on your DIY projects isn’t easy during the hectic holiday season, but these three tips will help you make it happen.
Keep It Small
The “go big or go home” approach won’t do your holiday DIY projects any good. When you don’t have a lot of time on your hands, it’s best to stick to something small and achievable, like making DIY greeting cards, candles, or Christmas wreaths.
Schedule Your DIY Time
Finding free time around the holidays may seem like a mission impossible, but you’ll have an easier time doing it if you schedule it in advance. You’ll be less likely to postpone working on your DIY projects this way or replace your DIY time with some other activities.
Buy What You Can
Not all your gifts have to be DIY, so buy what you can to minimize the time you’ll spend on your projects. Making all your presents by yourself is a time-consuming ordeal so try to only focus on the projects that seem really fun to stop this enjoyable activity from turning into a burden.
