HANDMADE GIFT IDEA: Resin Coasters

Resin is a wonderful medium to capture 3D objects, especially little trinkets that remind us of special moments, such as a family day out, a beach holiday, or someone close to us.

Friends and family would love to receive a special handmade gift like this coaster, which you can fill with beautiful bits and bobs that are meaningful to them: shells, dried flowers, pebbles, semi-precious stones, etc. Let your imagination run wild!

HANDMADE GIFT IDEA: Dried Flower Wreath

A wreath is a wonderful addition to any home, especially when it features natural elements such as flowers, leaves and grasses.

We love the longevity of these dried flower wreaths that feature a simple, contemporary design that would suit most homes.

The hoops are widely accessible from florists, discount stores and even online, and dried flowers and grasses are on-trend at the moment, so also easily sourced. The addition of brown string gives a rustic feel, which we love.

The world is your oyster when it comes to designing these beautiful wreaths!

HANDMADE CARD: Daisy Hama Beads

This card would be the perfect way to use up some of those bottles of Hama Beads that kids have a tendency of acquiring (we have a few bottles in our craft cupboard!).

Kids could also get involved making this simple design.

We also love the wood panel with birthday greeting. You could also use a popsicle stick as an alternative. This one is nice and easy to customise with different colours, flower bouquet arrangements and personalised message.

HANDMADE GIFT IDEA: Shell Frame

This gorgeous sea-shell image is a beautiful way to use some of those found shells children often collect at the beach.

WHY WE LOVE IT:

1. You could play around with different colours, sizes, and placement of the shells.

2. Experiment with the background you glue them too, using paper, card, or even wood.

3. You could incorporate a meaningful message, inspiring quote, or Bible verse to personalise this picture for your recipient.
