The days of macaroni necklace presents are over thanks to the collective collaboration of the ever-so-wonderful Pinterest.  Grandma may love all the scribbly artwork but why not try something still personal but also unique this season?  Here are some of our favorite DIY Christmas gifts you can make with your kids.

Handprint Art Santa Mason Jar  From All Free Kids Crafts

Jam, schmam!  Mason jar possibilities are endless!  If you happen to have a few lying around, all you need are some extra craft supplies to create this shabby chic and personalized memorabilia piece.

Painted Christmas Plates From Bits of Everything

What mom wouldn’t want these stacking up in her cupboard over the years? Watch a hand grow with a signed name and date… there’s nothing wrong with sappy when gifting this present.

Decorated Candles From Red Ted Art

Candles are always in style and used regularly. A candle with cute kid art? Gift genius and so unique. Adorable and functional, even the grumpiest of scrooges will smile when unwrapping.

Salt Dough Ornaments From I Heart Arts and Crafts

When all else fails, fall on tradition. Grandma’s and moms will never get enough of a footprint from time to hang on their tree. Just watch the little monkey’s while you make them, they taste horrible yet kids can’t stop eating!
