10 Personalized Homemade Christmas Gifts
Share
During the holiday season, the only thing better than giving to your loved ones is giving a personalized homemade Christmas gift that shows them just how special they are! The DIY possibilities are endless with these craft vinyl projects: ornaments, stockings, décor and more!
Everyone loves a gift, but when that gift has been personalized just for you it becomes that much sweeter! But sometimes figuring out the gift that is just right can be hard. So we have put together several ideas of gifts we have made and personalized for our dearest friends. Feel free to make these just as we have or make these ideas your own and turn them into a creation as unique as you are.
Family Name Utensil Holder
The Family Tree cut file really stands out when paired with Oracal 651 matte black vinyl. I chose 651 vinyl for the durable permanent adhesive, but went with the matte finish to make the contrast with the glossiness of the jar.
A beauty like this is durable for everyday use and display all year long!

The soft, velvety finish to the HTV gives a faux embroidered look, perfect for that classic holiday vibe.
These are sure to be an eye-catcher for more stocking stuffers from Santa.
