DIY Holiday Gifts


 I think all these are perfect for giving to friends especially if your giving them to say a group of friends, because they are cheep to make but it looks like you put a lot of effort in and all these you can customize for each of your girlfriends or guyfriends. 
 

The Sharpie mug's


What you need:
  • Cheep mug (the cheep ones have a thin glaze which will make it last longer).
  • Sharpies (WARNING) the colored sharpies can change colour when baked so best to stick with black.
  • White vinegar. 
  • Cotton pads.
First wipe where your going to be drawing on the mug with the vinegar to remove oils  after doing that avoid touching the surface.
Next just draw your design let it dry, then go over it again
 and allow it to dry,
Place in the oven when you oven is cool and LET THE OVEN HEAT UP AND COOL DOWN WITH THE MUGS INSIDE!
Once your mugs are in the oven turn the oven to 220-230c or 350F and cook for 30 min.
When the the 30 min is up let your oven cool completely 


Then your all done you can get really creative with this one and you could also hide some goodies inside:)

Christmas cookies 


Now these are super simple but i think these are great,
All you need is any jar and get any cookie or brownie recipe from the internet. 
Place all the dry ingredients in the jar, then add a little card maybe stuck to the side or wrapped around the top with some ribbon with all the wet ingredients they will need. You could maybe add a cute cookie cutter attached with some ribbon around the top.
I don't know anyone who wouldn't love these!

Jolly rancher lollys

This is soo good! just place your sticks on a pan with foil or wax paper and then just place The jolly ranchers on top of the sticks in any way you like then place in the oven for 4 mins at 350F after they are done you could maybe decorate then with ribbon or Something.


I hope this helped you guys, i am actually using all of these ideas for gifts so shhhhh....;)
