Are these POSSIBLY the best handmade woodworking gifts you can make RIGHT NOW for last-minute holiday gifts? I've been making 12 easy woodworking gift ideas for my own family and friends, and enjoyed them so much, I decided to share them in this easy-to-digest list so you can pick which ones you'd like to make and follow along with the dedicated video.
These were all made using scrap wood, budget-friendly as I needed to save money too!, and I hope you agree that they're all easy, reasonably beginner friendly, varied for different hobbies, and can be customised for a personal touch, either with paint, a Cricut vinyl cutting machine, etc.
I tried many new techniques myself, like using mod podge to transfer photos to wood, and burning wood with a pyrography pen and it really did get me thinking about how else I can adapt these methods in my future projects... and design DIY Christmas gifts that people ACTUALLY WANT!
As usual, I discuss tips and tricks where you can go wrong, where I WENT WRONG 😂, what's the cheapest for quick and easy for batch-making any stocking fillers, and what may use up more of your time.
I made these easy woodworking gift ideas as part of my first ever 12 Days of Giftmas series, which you can find the entire playlist here, all with easy step-by-step tutorials: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLV5z5fnF1kffq7XyU-sSIdiyA6ihNzwUb
And if you've already done your Christmas shopping for 2022, or making them, then perhaps you might like to think of DIY wood projects that sell best on platforms like Etsy.
Also, as we're all in a recession right now, as a Christmas gift from me to you, I've created free plans for most of these which you can sign up to receive right now from my blog: https://thecarpentersdaughter.co.uk/subscribe/
*You'll find the list on my Thank You confirmation page... PLEASE bookmark this page as you can keep going back to it whenever you like!
**Note, there's just 2 on this list that isn't free, (the dog wine bottle holder & the cookbook stand as they took a lot more time to put together), but you CAN get them, including all my PREMIUM plans by becoming a Patreon member for as little as $1 a month!
Anyway - sit back, relax with a cuppa and I hope you enjoy watching (and hopefully you're sat in a cozy house, unlike me at my Dad's freezing woodyard 😂)
