 No
money? No problem. Hate mall madness?
Don’t bother. Whether you’re stumped on
what to give an awesome BFF, your pesky
little bro or the grandma who has
everything, we’ve gotcha covered.…
Beauty Sleep Mask
A great gift for all the gals on your
list. This is so simple you could make
it with your eyes closed!
- Flannel-backed satin
- Scissors
- Fabric glue
- Rick-rack edging
- Black-fringe fabric
- Elastic
- Flaxseed or rice
- Dried lavender or thyme
- Funnel
- Cut two pieces of the satin,
approximately 4 inches by 8 inches. Use
the scissors to round the edges and cut
out a center notch along one edge to go
around the wearer’s nose.
- On the satin side of one piece, use
the glue to attach rick-rack. Cut out
two 2-inch lengths of fringe and glue on
for “eyelashes.”
- Run a line of glue around the
flannel-sided edge of the other satin
piece, leaving an inch-wide gap on top
(for filling). Glue the ends of a 6-inch
piece of elastic to each side of the
flannel.
- Lay the other satin piece on top,
flannel sides facing each other, and
gently press the pieces together along
the glued edge. Allow glue to dry
overnight.
- Use funnel to pour 5 tablespoons of
flaxseed or rice and 3 tablespoons of
lavender or thyme into the opening. Glue
the gap shut.
- Create a gift tag with instructions:
As a cold or hot treat for tired eyes,
store in freezer or heat in microwave
for 20 seconds to warm.
Merry Carry-all Caddy
Little kids can toss their crayons in
it, or your buds can use it for hair
accessories.
- Decorative scrapbook paper
- Ruler
- Pencil
- Scissors
- Hole punch
- Glue stick
- Thin ribbon
- Trim scrapbook paper to 9 inches by 9
inches. Fold in half diagonally both
ways, with the decorative side facing
in, then reopen to your original square.
- Next, fold the square in thirds with
the decorative side this time facing
out, top to bottom and again from side
to side. When you reopen your square, it
should look like a tic-tac-toe grid
intersected by a big X.
- Punch one hole near the edge of each
of the four corners.
- Fold the basket by bringing the
corners together. Weave ribbon through
the punched holes, and tie it up in a
bow!
Mad Mosaic Mirror
Transform junk-drawer castoffs into
mosaic magic. For your brother? Think
Legos, Hot Wheels, plastic critters or
“metal mania” -- old hardware, screws,
coins and keys.
- Doo-dads, such as costume jewelry,
puzzle pieces, game parts (anything
goes!)
- Tacky glue
- Paintbrush
- Mirror or frame
- Lay the mirror or frame flat. Working
a section at a time, generously spread
glue onto the frame with a paintbrush.
- Arrange pieces in a layer,
overlapping and even letting parts
extend beyond the frame.
- After decorating, allow the glue to
dry completely. (Stray drops of glue on
the glass can easily be peeled off.)
