5 Retro DIY Holiday Gifts

written by Laura

When it comes to gifting this holiday season, try some DIY magic to make your presents feel more personal and unique. These 5 retro DIY Christmas gifts are sure to steal the spotlight in any gift exchange this season. The best part? They are as cute as they are budget-friendly.

Sharpie Flower Pots

These Sharpie Flower Pots are perfect for the green thumbs in your life. Creating these are super easy and only takes a handful of supplies, plus you can personalize them any way your holiday-wishing heart desires! All you need is a ceramic flower pot, letter stickers, and an oil-based Sharpie. The rest is up to you!

Recipe Box

This handcrafted recipe box will test your craftiness but the end result is SO worth it (plus it’s claimed to still be doable with less than $30). You’ll need some woodworking supplies like tablesaws, miter saws, a nail gun, air compressor, along with some stain and wax (full supplies list in the link). Once the box is crafted you have the freedom to stain it any way you’d like, plus you can add primitive (i.e. CUTE) personalized labels to the front of your new recipe box.

Sequin Pillows

I won’t be the first (or last) person to admit my love for throw pillows. For every occasion, there’s an adorable decor pillow to match. These DIY Holiday Sequin Pillows are no exception. Find a plain throw pillow (or pillow cover), a pen (be sure it writes on material!), a hot glue gun, and some sequin detailing (practice spelling or drawing out your new pillow design to measure the exact length needed). Lexy over at the Proper Blog mastered a gorgeous sequin Christmas tree partnered with a pink pillow spelling out ‘merry’. Get creative!

Marquee Light

This DIY Marquee Light takes the cake for retro DIY Christmas gifts. Nothing says retro like the fluorescence of neon lights. Pick out a marquee light ampersand, scrapbook or wrapping paper(because we all have plenty of leftover wrapping paper lying around!), and some glue. These lights will tie together any home office, dresser, kitchen counter, let’s face it…they’d go anywhere!

Pressed Plant Photo Frame

This DIY Pressed Plant Photo Frame is perfect for people stuck in colder climates for the winter season. Once you have your plant press you can pick out the plants for your new frames. The rest of the frame is really up to your creativity. Print photos, use scrapbook paper, add sequins, the options are endless! Finish up your frame craft by placing the pressed plants and decor in a clear glass frame. Voilà!
