It’s Friday and we have just a few days until Christmas.
I wanted to share some really cute handmade gift ideas with you today from the dollar store.
Hollala!
Do you love $1 store items?
I am seriously addicted to that store.
It’s amazing to me what you can find for a buc..and with a little “pretty up” you can have some really nice handmade gifts.
Originally it was suppose to be 3 separate posts, but now that I am out of time, I am sharing all this in one post since these projects are
SUPER EASY
and you can do it in max 30 minutes
Sounds Awesome?
Lets start with those cute mugs with “shirt” on.
I saw similar mugs at Target and I certainly though I could dig my son’s outgrown outfit bag to make this cutie.
I cut the sleeves off of my son’s shirt and pulled it on over the mug. Cut out a hole so the mug holder can be accessible.
I embellished them with cute buttons and I also ended up sewing a button to the opening, right under the handle.
I designed a matching tag with it which is
FREE to print
Very easy, inexpensive little project.
BTW: I might just keep this for MYSELF -oh how much I love it:-)
Ready to see the next one?
Who wouldn’t love to get this super good looking kitchen glove and potholder?
I would!
All you need is some fabric to pretty this kitchen glove and potholder up.
I used my sewing machine, but if you don’t have one, just use fabric glue or sew on the fabric by hand.
I used my leftover buttons to embellish.
Red and blue are so great together.
Filled the glove with kitchen items {$1 items of course} and I am sure whomever will end up getting this perfect gift ,will be happy.
…and now on to the 3rd project.
I couldn’t leave these mugs behind…The most awesome mugs that I have ever seen at Dollar store.
Using my red sharpie { for porcelain } and I painted some different size dots on my white mug.
Easy- peasy…cutness.
What do you think?
Aren’t they just so simple yet very gorgeous gifts?
I hope I inspired you if you still need to come up with some gift ideas!
For neighbors and teachers these super delish
would make great gifts too
Or how about some
in mason jar
Have a wonderful weekend!
Merry Christmas!

Thank you for sharing my ideas Paulette!Have a Merry Xmas!Xoxo
These are great ideas! Love the potholders!

Thank You for visiting and pinning,Melissa!
Also curious… The sweater doesn't unravel? I would think a knit would… Unless that is a waffle type thermal? Any suggestions for possible fabric choices? Thanks!
I used exactly the waffle type thermal. It does't look like would unravel.:-) If you use sweater I think you would have to finish the knitting both ends.Have a Merry Christmas!
I totally have the mugs you put dots on!!! Great ideas! Thanks!
