7 simple DIY X-mas gifts

We all know how fun is the memory card game, but this time instead of playing the game with random images on the cards, why not having it with our favourite photos. Simply print out in your local photography store two copies of each chosen picture. Make sure you choose correct size, preferably square. Then using water-based glue, stick the pictures on art boards (more art boards here, here). Let it dry for about two hours, then put the cards in a cute little box, or a toy like the one on a picture.

If your art boards are too big, cut them with a razor-sharp blade, after allowing two hour dry period. Also to keep the cards from sticking together once finished, lightly wipe all sides of the cards with baby powder and a cloth.

Nuts have been a part of Christmas traditions for a really long time, so why not making this candied, crunchy gift? The simple recipe for Sweet & Spicy Coated Nuts contain cashews, pecans and almonds. Guaranteed this cute little jar will be a perfect present for any nut lover. So grab a bag of nuts and get cracking with making it.!

All you will need for this project are:

• velvet ribbon
• ribbon clamps (make sure they are the same width as the velvet ribbon used)
• jump rings
• jewellery charms (choose from vintage, flower, heart, crystal, or festive charms)

To assembly your bookmarks, simply cut about 20cm length of velvet ribbon, then using pliers attach the ribbon clamps on both ends of the ribbon. Next attach the jump rings to the clamps and finish with attaching jewellery charms.

This simple & inexpensive gift will go well with a book or on its own.
