Great Gifts for the Family
Homemade crafts are a great way for kids to make gifts for mom & dad, grandma & grandpa, or even a teacher because they are personal. Plus, it helps when they are so easy and cheap to make.
You can make ornaments for the Christmas tree. Simply add a hole large enough for ribbon or twine and tie a nice bow. They look adorable on any tree!
Salt dough prints also make great accent pieces for flower beds or gardens. Make sure to paint your prints with a bright, warm color to make them pop amongst the dark brown soil or mulch.
No matter where or who these gifts go to, they will leave a lasting, personal touch to any birthday, Christmas, or Valentines Day.
