Candles in tins
A candle is a popular gift for coworkers and family members alike. This holiday season, add a touch of your own personality with a colorful candle made from an upcycled tin. Tea tins work especially well, but any can or jug you have at your 2850 & 2870 Cedarwood Apartment can be used for this fun, hands-on craft.
Terrarium Kit
Terrariums are trendy, making a terrarium kit a great choice for giving to your friends this year, regardless of the holiday or the event. In fact, this DIY gift could work as an excellent party favour.Â
Shark Hoodie
A little bit of cutting and a little bit of stitching is all you need to do to craft this adorable Shark Hoodie. Follow this step-by-step tutorial for a holiday gift that will be appreciated by parent and child alike.
Felted Sweater Tote
In a world overrun with plastic bags, perhaps the best gift you can give is a reusable bag. You can take this green gift to the next level by upcycling an old sweater to make a sweater tote. This DIY craft uses a process called felting. It’s best done with a sweater of 100% wool, so before you throw out your latest shrunk shirt, check if it can be used for this gift-able project.Â
Mint Sugar Scrub
It only takes five minutes and four ingredients to make this decadent Mint Sugar Scrub. Place in a mason jar and add a colorful ribbon to complete this holiday gift-giving solution.
