NFM: Ideas needed for homemade x-mas gifts using photos please

baybee07 · October 2011

Instead of buying presents, we pick names and have to make a person their gift.

I take a boat load of photos thru the year of my niece and nephew and want to do something with the awesome photo's that I take.....but I do not want to do a photobook or a calendar. I am looking for any ideas!

Thanks!

What about a quilt with the pictures on the fabric, a puzzle, coasters, dvd with a chapter for each person over time (so you can see kid A from newborn through age X)...

Give photo ornaments!:)

Go to a craft store, get wooden cubes (the kind that are about 2" big) and glue 4 photos to the cube; one to each side.

That would be a cheapie way out for a gift for the holidays.:)

Apply the photo with a glue stick; let dry -- then spray with a shiny acrylic finish (in cans, also at craft stores.)

Get eyehooks; screw the eyehook into the top and add some ribbon.:)

What about a mug? An apron (especially for a funny picture!)...

I was also going to suggest coasters.

If you want to do something funny, maybe have them make a giant cardboard cutout.

One year I bought cardboard containers from Michaels and modge podged (sp?) pictures all over them catered directly to the person that I gave it to. It was a lot of fun and they had a great time going over the photos all over the hat box/heart box/jewelry box that i'd created.
