Top 5 Crafts & DIY Gifts
1) Clip-On Bucket Handles
These bucket handles are reliable, reusable, and won’t interfere with lids or liners. Clip them onto a three- or five-gallon bucket to equally distribute weight and easily haul a load when you’re working in the yard or DIY-ing. The handles snap together for seamless storage when they’re not on carrying duty.
2) Brush Lettering Calligraphy Workbook
Try your hand at brush lettering with a calligraphy workbook. From a foundation of doing basic strokes on tracing paper, learn lowercase and uppercase letters before finally connecting them. Pick a traditional or modern lettering style to learn.
3) Make-Your-Own BBQ Sauce Kit
A tasty DIY moment from a make-your-own BBQ sauce kit. It packs everything you need, from gloves to ingredients to bottles, into one kit that can make three bottles-worth of sweet, tangy, or spicy sauce. Stick to the step-by-step instructions or you can flex those creative muscles and try your own recipe. Pick up a few fresh ingredients and you're ready to get cooking. Made in the USA.
