Homemade gifts involve more than a trip to the store. Even the craftiest among us will have trouble slapping one together the night before. The least crafty among us will likely wear the mark of their effort in the form of needle-pricked thumbs and hot glue-burned fingers. It's not easy, but for many people, there is no substitute.
The extra time and thought that a homemade gift requires makes them special for the recipient. Rarely are such treasures discarded after the holiday is over. Plus, crafting something at home, especially if it uses otherwise trashed materials, keeps garbage out of landfills and reduces the packaging in your life.
But most of the readers at Planet Green know this already. In fact, you probably have a thing or two to teach us, and your fellow readers, about DIY holiday gifts.
That's why we're asking you to share your ideas. Snap a photo of that homemade masterpiece before you wrap it and submit the pictures using the linked form below.
We'll choose our favorites and feature them on PlanetGreen.com!
