I know we are not meant to talk about the impending festive season, lest someone hyperventilates, but the fact remains that there have been Christmas things in the shops for 3 weeks now and it is possible that it MAY be coming. Gulp.

No need to freak out, though because it can actually be KIND OF FUN to start early and make presents for your favourite people. I did that yesterday, with these polymer bead necklaces. My kids and my boyfriend and I spent the afternoon rolling modeling clay and poking holes in it and it was ALL KINDS OF FUN. Honestly.

I thought JustB could spend the next few weeks easing you into the idea of making things for Christmas.  I’ve got some RAD how-tos coming up, but let’s start with some other great creatives and the things they make first.

I’ve scouted around Le Internet and found eleven REALLY great gifts to DIY, with the festive season in mind. You can start this weekend and maybe you’ll love your DIY efforts so much that you’ll keep it for yourself. That is within the rules, so don’t feel badly if you do!

Let’s DIY, A-Okay?

    All of them, way too hard to choose! Think I will start with the canvas tote…
