DIY Hostess Gifts - Michaels Makers

Happy Holidays today I have some exciting DIY’S to share with you. Trust me you will be happy you came visit me today! I have three different DIY projects that you can do with your friends and family, or FOR your friends and family! That sounds more like it huh!

We all have stressors during the holidays and this month the Michaels Makers were asked to come up with creative and fun holiday hacks and tips to help relieve some of that stress and make holiday entertaining and prepping fun!

We were given 5 common holiday hiccups to choose from and I went with “What to give as a hostess gift”.

I am so pleased with the outcome of this project! I hope you enjoy all of them, let’s get to it!

For this project you will need: WOODEN TRAY * CHALKBOARD PAINT * BRUSH

ALL OF THESE PRODUCTS WERE PURCHASED FROM MICHAELS.

HOW PRECIOUS IS THIS TRAY! Here is a snippet of everything we will be making today so peek too long!

I love the look of a chalkboard tray. You can put anything inside of it and it will pop with excitement! Cheese and crackers would look great inside of this also.

For all of my projects today I am using outdoor Mod Podge simply because I want to use these items outside for parties.

For this project you will need: DECORATIVE PAPER * MOD PODGE * COASTER * PENCIL

ALL OF THESE PRODUCTS WERE PURCHASED FROM MICHAELS EXCEPT THE COASTER. You can get this from your local hardware store for pennies.

Tadahh! I love this because you can personalize coasters for personalities. How cool is that! BTW kids will LOVE this project!

For this project you will need: WHITE MUG * STENCIL * SHARPIE MARKER

ALL OF THESE PRODUCTS WERE PURCHASED FROM MICHAELS EXCEPT THE MUG. When done with this project put the cold mug in your oven and set to 350 degrees. Leave the mug in the oven for 40 minutes, make sure to let the mug cool down on it’s own in the oven!

Now your mug is all set to give away and enjoy!

Now for my stencil I sprayed it will adhesive spray then applied to the mug. Make sure it is firmly placed on the mug so when you trace with marker it comes out perfect. You can clean up edges with makeup brush and alcohol.

I used a red sharpie to create the peppermint handle.
Give to someone on the tray with a cute box of different teas and you will surely make someone very happy!

For this project you will need: GLASS JAR * MOD PODGE * BRUSH * GLITTER

ALL OF THESE PRODUCTS WERE PURCHASED FROM MICHAELS.

I filled my jar with hot chocolate so when you give it away it’s all neatly tucked away. Just grab some with a spoon when ready to use! Don’t forget to add peppermint marshmallows!
