Wooden Gift Ideas for the 2021 Holiday Season

1. Wood Burned Kitchen Utensils – Sounds weird, but this one is really easy with the right tool. Take ordinary tools like a rolling pin or wooden spoons, forks, spatulas, etc. and use a wood burn pen to create fun patterns directly onto the wood. It transforms the item into something entirely unique. Click for tutorial.
2. Cork Stoppers – Pick up a few decorative drawer knobs from your favorite hardware store and affix them to existing corks. Turns an ordinary plug into a showstopper. For instructions, click here.
3. Tea Tree – Perfect for anyone you know that loves tea! The tree is formed using a Styrofoam cone and a cardboard tube for the stump (repurpose cardboard from a paper product or buy a sturdier version at a craft store). Individually wrapped tea bags are glued to the outside so the bags form the ‘branches’ of the tree. A wooden star (found at craft stores) can be affixed to the top for decoration.
4. Wood Ornaments – Simple and fun to do with the kids, wood ornaments can be any size, shape, and color. Purchase unfinished, pre-cut wood shapes at your local craft store and paint away! Use baker’s twine to form a loop for hanging and glue it to the back. For design ideas, click here.
5. Wood Bangles – Add some color to holiday outfits with these easy-to-make wood accessories.  All it takes is unfinished wood bangles, embroidery floss, and glue. Get the full tutorial here.

Whatever gifts you end up giving or receiving, enjoy the presence of your family, friends, and loved ones this holiday season!  Thank you for your business and support.  Cheers!
