Presents for my mom and dad??


Question Posted Sunday December 2 2012, 3:17 pm

Hi! So I want to give my mom and dad a present or two (Seperately). I'm planning to do DIY projects, but I can't seem to find any good ones. I'm not really looking for food ideas, but just making gifts. If you can give me links or tell me website names, that would be great!

I made my mom a blanket for christmas. It's a knot, fleece fabric blanket. I made myself one to see how her reaction would be, and she loves it!

You can get on google and type it knot blankets, and it'll show you how.

Have you tried pinterst? they have a lot of DYI projects for males and females.


if you can't find any, try getting on google and typing it

"do it your own christmas gifts for dad/moms"
and there should be a lot of cool ideas.

You could make them coupons.

I made some for my dad last year,
like 'free wash your car'
'foot massage'
'dinner for two'

its a cool idea.
its hard to give you specific gift ideas, because we don't know what their interest are, or what they like.


What I do, is I write down stuff I know they like, and I find a way to turn it into a project.

:)

The best thing I ever did was learn how to knit. It's really not hard, and it's not expensive unless you buy the really fancy yarns.

You can get everything you need at Wal-Mart or a typical craft store. Get yourself a set of really big knitting needles, like a size 15-17. They should be over a centimeter around. Then grab a couple of balls of thick yarn, either bulky (size 5) or super-bulky (size 6). If all else fails, read the label. It'll tell you what size of needle to use with that particular gauge of yarn.

That's all you need! Hop on Youtube and look up instructions on how to cast on, knit and cast off. Cast on stitches until the scarf is about as wide as you'd like it, then knit each row. Cast off when it's as long as you want it and you're done! A scarf made like this usually takes me 6-8 hours, and you can do it in front of the TV.
