Tips to Save Money When Making Gifts:


Preparation. This may not always be possible but it can save you money to prepare well ahead of Holidays and Special Occasions. Waiting until the last minute usually means needing short cuts and having to buy supplies from more expensive stores (since time restraints don't allow for "shopping around.")


Many craft stores have amazing sales and coupons available but never at the last minute when you need them - I personally know this from lot's of experience! So whenever possible - stock up, get 'em while they're hot and feel free to use this holiday calendar list or read about free reminders for help getting ahead of birthdays and holidays.


Quick Tip: If you find yourself putting something together at the last minute, don't hesitate to use my printable tags to address your homemade gifts and more.


Shop After-Holiday Sales. Many items are available seasonally. Right after a holiday is the best time to get discounted stuff for next year.


Re-use and Re-purpose. Use stuff you have. Save pretty bottles, shop dollar store deals (if you have one) and pick up tins and wooden objects (stuff you can paint or decoupage) from thrift stores for re-purposing.

More Tips & Cheap Homemade Gift Ideas:


Sew, Knit or Crochet. Fabric, yarn and thread can be used to make an endless array of creative and inexpensive homemade gifts.


Homemade blankets and quilts, for example, are timeless and still widely popular homemade gifts, but there are also many other things you can do with fabric, yarn and/or thread. For example, you can make totes, rugs and more with old but shapely sweaters and clothing - definitely a budget winner.


If you're knew to knitting you can get a knitting loom and make a super cute hat or scarf in an evening! It's that easy.


Don't forget to search your house for hidden treasure!
Believe it or not, stuff you don't want can make a great addition to your supply list for future gift making. Check your closet, garage, laundry room, pantry, cupboards and recycle bin. Some of my favorite hidden treasures include: Old spice containersBaby food jarsOld vases from the 70s or beyondSauce, dressing and marinade jarsPickle jars and other nice glass jarsMason jars in all sizesUsed basketsOld plantersUnwanted pitchers or canistersOld frames of any kindOld fabric, including stained or torn lace curtains, tablecloths or clothing that is still in good condition

Keep your eyes out for these types of "treasures" and save them all year long. Saving stuff like this will make or break your day when creating homemade gifts and they will most definitely reduce the cost of any project.
