More Frugal Gifts to make....

[captclearance]

Use your computer to make books for Teachers, Caregivers, Grandparents, .... I made these for my Sister (She's a Teacher and her friends...They use them all of the time)
Just copy and paste them to your program, add a little cute clip art, print (I use card stock and laminate with clear contact paper) and put into a decorated, personalized cover......
Here are some links to get you started.....

How about a recipe book for little girls with recipes for lip gloss, glitter gel ect... My dd make some of this stuff with her best friend this summer.... It was one of the best weekends she's
had.... You can even give them a little basket with a few things to get them started..... These kits have been very popular and were marketed in paint cans they sold for about $20.00

Why not give a crafty kid the things they need to make their own gifts of projects..... Cut out a bird house and give them brads and a couple bottles of craft paint.... supplies for a tool box, bird feeder, ect....

Please add more links if you find them..............
