Are these POSSIBLY the best handmade woodworking gifts you can make RIGHT NOW for last-minute holiday gifts? I've been making 12 easy woodworking gift ideas for my own family and friends, and enjoyed them so much, I decided to share them in this easy-to-digest list so you can pick which ones you'd like to make and follow along with the dedicated video.
These were all made using scrap wood, budget-friendly as I needed to save money too!, and I hope you agree that they're all easy, reasonably beginner friendly, varied for different hobbies, and can be customised for a personal touch, either with paint, a Cricut vinyl cutting machine, etc.
I tried many new techniques myself, like using mod podge to transfer photos to wood, and burning wood with a pyrography pen and it really did get me thinking about how else I can adapt these methods in my future projects... and design DIY Christmas gifts that people ACTUALLY WANT!
As usual, I discuss tips and tricks where you can go wrong, where I WENT WRONG 😂, what's the cheapest for quick and easy for batch-making any stocking fillers, and what may use up more of your time.
I made these easy woodworking gift ideas as part of my first ever 12 Days of Giftmas series, which you can find the entire playlist here, all with easy step-by-step tutorials: • 12 Days of Giftmas (Wo...
And if you've already done your Christmas shopping for 2022, or making them, then perhaps you might like to think of DIY wood projects that sell best on platforms like Etsy.
Also, as we're all in a recession right now, as a Christmas gift from me to you, I've created free plans for most of these which you can sign up to receive right now from my blog: thecarpentersdaughter.co.uk/s...
*You'll find the list on my Thank You confirmation page... PLEASE bookmark this page as you can keep going back to it whenever you like!
**Note, there's just 2 on this list that isn't free, (the dog wine bottle holder & the cookbook stand as they took a lot more time to put together), but you CAN get them, including all my PREMIUM plans by becoming a Patreon member for as little as $1 a month!
Anyway - sit back, relax with a cuppa and I hope you enjoy watching (and hopefully you're sat in a cozy house, unlike me at my Dad's freezing woodyard 😂)

Thumb support for books earned a sub haha. I love physical books but paperbacks are just a nightmare. Kindle solved the pain but unless e-readers can come with built in Old Book Smell then it will just never quite be the same.

Thanks so much 😀 my husband is always moaning about me not going digital, but I think flicking through a book and placing a bookmark in it is so much quicker and yes... the page smell! It's a far better experience than a kindle I think.

Hi Vikkie, You have a new subscriber now. I like the ink transfer idea but I prefer the inkjet method I learned from Steve Ramsey many, many years ago. I've had great success with it over the years. I'm actually getting ready to make a gift for my son and his wife using this method. I'll probably make it a video. Any way. My favorite gift from your video was the cat bum bottle opener. However, I think all of the ideas are good ones. I'm going to try the thumb page holder for myself. Thank you and God bless.

@TheCarpentersDaughterUK 5 ай бұрын

I'm going to have to look into the ink jet method, I was running around all over looking to find a laser jet, I ended up using our local library.

@woodandwheelz 5 ай бұрын

@@TheCarpentersDaughterUK Here's a link to Steve's video ( kzfaq.info/get/bejne/kNdigplntq2np5s.html ). He uses used label paper, but I've used kitchen wax paper. Not parchment. It has to have a wax coating. What is nice about using the wax paper is that I have a wide format printer and can cut the paper to fit my printer. In this case, as large as 13" x 19" (roughly 33cm x 48cm). Also, purchasing wax paper is cheaper than label paper. God bless and Merry Christmas to you and you family.

So I loved your dog bottle holder. I watched the video Wednesday morning and by Wednesday evening I had designed and cut out a cat bottle holder based on your idea. I made it out of ambrosia maple cut offs and the tail/body was made from mahogany. I don’t have instagram to show you picks of the final project but I do want to thank you for the idea.

Sorry for the late reply, but so happy you were able to use the idea. It sounds beautiful! And feel free to post some pics on my Facebook page or tag me on Twitter 😄

what would be more awesome is you can use fancy veneer or fancy lacquer color for the guitar book stand (just like any other over priced electric guitar made of)

Great summary of the gift ideas. Definitely still the drink plink but the book ends a close second. I'm down to using off-cuts of-off cuts so my builds are getting smaller and smaller!

@TheCarpentersDaughterUK Жыл бұрын

I like your thinking of using the even smaller offcuts!! Maybe even a perpetual calendar block is on the cards? (An idea my parents kept pestering me to make, but it'll have to be next year now 😆)

Hi, Vikkie. If I haven't mentioned it previously, I loved this series of videos. It may be my favorite Carpenter's Daughter videos to date. Each of the projects is appealing and well worth building, but I have to say that I especially like this series because it features loads of "Vikkie". You are enjoyable and charming and when you are prominent in a video, I usually enjoy the video. Thanks again for the series. Merry Christmas.

Hi all - I hope some of these quick woodworking gifts have got you out of a tricky situation... I usually tend to leave Christmas presents until the last few days as I'm ALWAYS busy working 😅 If you need to see any of the FULL tutorials, I've put them all together here in a playlist to find quickly: kzfaq.info/sun/PLV5z5fnF1kffq7XyU-sSIdiyA6ihNzwUb ALSO, as we all need to save money right now, as a Christmas gift to you, I've created free plans for most that you can download NOW (except the dog wine holder & cookbook stand)* by signing up to my free mailing list and you'll instantly see a thank you page, with downloadable PDF links - I recommend BOOKMARKING this page so you can keep going back to it in the future: thecarpentersdaughter.co.uk/subscribe/ *Note, the 2 plans menrtioned above aren't free as they took a LOT more time to put together, but as always, you can get access to ALL of my PREMIUM plans by becoming a Patreon member for as little as $1 a month! Merry Christmas and hope you're all warmer than I was filming this 😂
