Have you ever made a present yourself to give to someone?

Over the years I have done many crafts and one of them included paper tole where you layer the same picture to make it look 3-D. I made heaps and heaps of these and gave some as presents.

Then I went ot folk art and made many great things and gave them as presents.

I have also spun my own llama wool, and knitted it, particularly beautiful soft scarves for many of my friends.

So, yes I have often made presents to give to people.

I do it a lot, being an artist I will do a small painting of mountains or the like.Or maybe make one of my 'one-off's' cake stands....or something else.
I don't do it for everyone, but just very close Church friends.

I have given a couple of friends my paintings.
Have knitted scarves and given to close friends They are not good enough to sell or anything!

I have done this all of my life!Whether a home cooked delicacy,or a piece of beautiful calligraphy,or extremely fine Petit Point tapestry,or Fine seed-beaded items,I would always far prefer to MAKE than BUY a gift!! I have done so many wonderful arty and crafty past-times over the years,and it now breaks my heart that my arthritis which I have suffered since childhood,is now so severe that I find it very difficult to do much any more!

I have made presents for people but they have never benn very good - I'm not very good at craft work

by AJ

Oh yes, all the time! That's the thing with having a craft hobby, you need people to make things for, to justify the expense and time spent on your hobby! Sometimes people request specific things from me but mostly I just randomly inflict my handiwork on folks :)

I can't remember if I have. But my sisters make things like this all the time. So cute and very much appreciated.

Yes quite often especially when time is plenty and money is short. The last homemade present I did was a painting of a tiger for my best friend.

by Valadhiel

Yes a couple of times

by Maria

Yes and it is so rewarding.
