My Favorite DIY Gift Ideas

I am joining my friends from the Thrift Store Decor Team in sharing some of our favorite DIY gift ideas.  We were recently chatting about what a great advantage we would have should the gift selection at our local retails stores continue to be quite lean.  Couple the shortage of product with potential shipping issues and we decided to gather our favorite easy DIY projects to share with our wonderful readers.
