This year we've decided that everyone has to make a craft as a christmas present. It has to be something that would suit either a male or female and can cost no more than $10.00 to make. Any ideas?

A photo collage could be a great gift and might not cost much if you do it from a frame from a dollar store and use pictures that either you print off or that you have developed from your camera. I am thinking of doing this too for my daughter.

Hey, if you are interested in making greeting cards, you could try paper quilling. Its a great art I've found recently. ITs very easy and simple to make and plus you will enjoy doing it. Search on the internet for easy quilling patterns you could try out. Then you simply have to stick it on colored paper. If you know calligraphy, you could write nice greeting messages inside the card. You could also try making paper bags and stick the quilling work on the front of it. Or you could simply stick it on colored paper and then frame it. Thats look great too! Apart from quilling, you could try arranging dried flowers and leaves on blank colored paper and make greeting cards out of it. You could also try handmade jewelry or bracelets if you're interested. If you like painting, try out Tshirt painting. Making scented candles is another good option and easy too.

That's a nice gift. I'm sure your family and friends will appreciate it, it's kind of timeless. I am not a very crafty-type person, but I envy you for your craftliness. lol.

We have in the past made picture albums, jewelry, candles, chocolates, hot chocolate mixes, cake/cookie mixes and ornaments from various items. I received a candy bouquet last year that everyone loved. It was made with Hershey kiss roses, lolly pop (the large flat kind) and marshmellow stars.
