]]> 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.

]]> Gift planning is one of the best parts of the holiday season, and many people try to put a personal touch on their presents by making them on their own. If you happen to be one of those people, here are three things you should keep in mind before giving DIY presents to your loved ones.

Personal Taste

Before putting an effort into DIY gifts, consider the personal taste of the people you want to give them to. Putting a personal touch is pretty admirable, but some people prefer practical gifts that they can put to some good use, so a simple gift card will do.

Plan Your Budget

Some people rely on DIY gifts in an attempt to save money, but they’re not always the most affordable option. Plan your budget beforehand and figure out if you can buy things that fit into it before embarking on a DIY adventure.

Finding Time

Thanksgiving and Christmas season tends to be the busiest time of the year, and it’s not easy to find time for DIY projects. If you’re determined to make your own gifts, start doing it early so you wouldn’t find yourself in a situation where you’re looking for a backup gift last minute.

]]> If your DIY senses start tingling as soon as the holiday season arrives, you’re probably planning many fun projects just in time for Halloween, Thanksgiving, and Christmas. Working on DIY projects involves a lot of trial and error, but there are some common mistakes that can easily be avoided.

Expensive Projects

The holiday season comes with a long list of expenses and your DIY projects shouldn’t be one of them. Make them as budget-friendly as possible, and avoid wasting your money and time if they cost you more than the store-bought version of the thing you’re making.

Time Management

Another thing you’ll lack during the holiday season, apart from money, is time. Between cooking a big family dinner for your loved ones, decorating your home, and planning your winter holiday, you’ll find barely any time for DIY, so always try to opt for projects that aren’t extremely time-consuming.

Not Upcycling

Most people start working on their DIY projects by finding a tutorial they like and start looking for materials after that, but you should do things the other way around. Use your DIY project to breathe a new life into things you no longer need and try to make it as sustainable as possible.

]]> In the past few years, ugly Christmas sweater parties have blown up in popularity, with attendees making an effort to show up in the gaudiest and most ridiculous Christmas sweater they can find. Most people borrow sweaters from their grandparents or search through the options at their local thrift store.

But if you want to avoid going to in-person thrift stores because of COVID-19 this year—and/or you’re looking for a fun DIY project to do during quarantine—making your own ugly Christmas sweater is a great winter activity that lets you get creative and have a few laughs.

There’s no limit to what you can do with a DIY ugly sweater, but here are some ideas to get your creative juices flowing.

Stocking and Wreath Sweaters

For this project, you’ll only need a sweater/vest, scissors, hot glue, needle, thread, and a variety of Christmas decorations.

This project by Bethany is a true classic.

Light-Up Christmas Tree Sweater

To create Drew’s sweater, you’ll need only hot glue, safety pins, and any Christmas decor you like.

This one is a bit more shiny, but is definitely worth your while.

]]> If you’re a DIY enthusiast, one of the most exciting parts of the holiday season is coming up with amazing ideas for new DIY projects. Homemade Christmas gifts and decorations can look really great, but it’s important to avoid a couple of common mistakes when making them.

Going Over Budget

You should have a clear budget in mind with everything you’re buying this Christmas, including the materials for your DIY projects. We all tend to start indulging and go a little overboard once the holiday season arrives, but it’s crucial to set some limits.

Wrong DIY Gifts

Believe it or not, some people simply don’t enjoy homemade gifts. If a person that you’re making a DIY present for prefers practical gifts, you should get them something they’ll enjoy, especially if they mentioned wanting something that’s within a reasonable price range.

Not Knowing Your Limits

Some projects require a lot of time and effort that you may not be able to put into them. We all get busy and overwhelmed during the holiday season, so it’s important to opt for DIY projects that won’t take up more time than you bargained for.

]]> Halloween and Thanksgiving are almost here, with Christmas just around the corner, and our favorite DIY channels are overflowing with festive tutorials. If you’re thinking of embarking on your own DIY adventure this holiday season, keep it on the budget with these three tips.

Use What You Have

You shouldn’t use DIY solely to make something new, but also as a way of getting rid of something old. Before going shopping for your DIY project, try to come up with creative ways to utilize unnecessary things you already have at home.

Go Thrift Shopping

Before heading to your favorite home décor chain, check out some thrift stores in your local area. In addition to being a more sustainable way of shopping, you’ll also end up finding cheaper items that aren’t available anywhere else.

Buy or DIY?

DIY projects aren’t always worth it, especially if you don’t have a lot of free time on your hands. If the items you want to make on your own can be bought for cheap, save yourself some time and use it for some more exciting DIY projects.
