Happy holidays from Beavers Digest. With winter break just around the corner, we are in the homestretch of fall term meaning the holidays are rapidly approaching.
The pressure to find gifts for loved ones may be intensifying. Here’s some inexpensive gift ideas from one broke Beaver to the next.
Homemade Crafty Gifts
- Orange garland: both a gift or a decoration idea. All you need is 1 orange and an oven. Slice the orange and place on a baking sheet. Bake the orange for 4 hours at 200°F. Use the dried orange slices for gift wrapping charms, garlands, or ornaments.
- Homemade jar of good luck quotes: write down some of your favorite feel good quotes or pick-me-up’s on small slips of paper. Fold up the papers and place in a jar. Gift the jar.
- Homemade felt ornaments: grab some fun color felt from the craft store. Either glue or sew together shapes and designs of felt into ornaments. One sheet of felt can produce multiple ornaments so you can make multiples. *Check out The Craft Center at OSU for supplies.*
