Christmas on a Budget!

Dear Fellow College Students,

Do you love your friends and family, and want to get them something special for this holiday season? Yes! However, this can be a difficult task when you're surviving off of Ramen Noodles and rain water!

I'm here to tell you that it is NOT as hard as it may seem to make some super awesome handmade gifts to your loved ones! You'd be amazed at what a little bit of hot glue, paint, and ribbon can do you for you! (Plus, it's a great stress reliever while studying for finals!) Here's a few projects that I've done:

Photo board for my desk here in the Call Center! 

Door decorations! 

Yes, I crafted this sweet bowl at Orange Leaf. :)

Smart shopping is a MUST! If you decide to make some of your Christmas presents, make an effort to never pay full price for your items and/or overall purchases! I mostly shop at Hobby Lobby and Wal-Mart for my supplies, and it's pretty easy to find in-store deals and coupons to use! I print most of my photos from Walgreens, and if you get on their email list, they send out deals for prints pretty regularly as well. :)

Also, Pinterest has some great ideas for holiday gift giving. Some of them are very complex, but truly you can find PLENTY of simple, great crafts to give to your friends and family this holiday season.
