Trend Hunter Editor Meghan Young shares her favorite DIY gifts that could help inspire you, whether you have a craft-loving nature or are simply on a budget. From growing books to artistic mugs and denim bags, these DIY gift ideas will work any time of the year.
To make a unique planter, all you need are some old books and twine to keep it all together. You can order your own upcycled literary planter-making kit to get started as well. For a project that is simple to execute and simplistic in looks, a front entrance organizer tool is a great option. If you have an old pair of jeans, you can turn them into a chic carry-all pouch. Or for tea time, Meghan's top pick for favorite DIY gifts are watercolor mugs in any color.
