It’s that time of year when giving heart felt gifts is essential, and hand made presents can sometimes express how much someone means to you more than store bought gifts can. When you’re looking for something to give someone, you might find yourself saying “This would work if it has this” or “If only it had this here then it would be perfect.” Seeing other items can give you ideas of what to make yourself, such as photo holders for your photos and/or cards that you shared with other people.
What Materials Do I Need?
- Wooden Blocks
- Heavy Copper Wire
- Needle nose pliers/wire cutters
- Hot Glue or Super Glue
- Drill
