11 Gift Guide For Teenager That Made By Yourself

Are you a passionate maker? Do you always think that the best gift is the thing that made by your hand? If so, we are on the same track! I always like to give a gift that made by me. A handmade gift is so memorable in a cheaper way than if we buy them. But, keep in mind, that the gift must be valuable, exclusive, and awesome! So that the receiver will say “Wow!” with wide opened eyes.

Do not be discouraged, everyone is a maker. The difference is the material used. You do not have to sew, nor do you have to saw. You can make from clay, leather, paper or anything you like!
But there is one thing you should remember if this gift aim for teenagers: give their favorite thing. You can’t give them a hat that is suitable for small children, you also can not give them a bag that is not the trend for teenagers. If necessary, do a little research on their likes and needs, so they’ll really like your gift.
Here is my experience when I wanted to give Christmas gift to my boy. The time was very short, so I couldn’t make a gift that needs a long time to make. My son also didn’t need fashion items like bag and clothes. But he needed something to cover the walls of his room with vintage decorations.
After looking for ideas all day long, I decided to make a silhouette of his face with paper cutting techniques. The part of the brain was made with numerous patterns, to represent the multiple intelligences. Then I put the silhouette into a very vintage frame! He was very happy to receive it! I’m happy too that I can make a precious gift only with paper and craft knife.

The paper cutting silhouette is very easy to make. First, make a face silhouette pattern on plain white paper, then make the pattern of curves on the head or any part you want. After that cut the pattern with a craft knife, then trace it on the back of the paper that aims to be the gift. Trace with pencil, then start to cut with craft knife. I used Stardream 120 gr paper in black color to make this silhouette, it has metallic look.
