Gifts for Guys You Can Make

This is where I get stumped every Christmas or male's birthday.  What can I possibly make for a guy (besides food) that he would appreciate?  I went on a web hunt and found Instructables, a DIY site geared toward men's interests.  Here are some fun things you could do.

First, I found an urban survival kit made from an Altoids tin!  This site also has ideas for other tin kits.

What guy wouldn't like portable hot sauce?  Find instructions at http://www.instructables.com/id/Ideas-for-Altoids-and-other-tins/.

Next, a bracelet from paracord!  It could hypothetically be used in a survival situation, and it looks very manly.  http://www.instructables.com/id/Paracord-bracelet-with-a-side-release-buckle/


For manly home sprucing, check out this faux driftwood votive.  http://www.instructables.com/id/Faux-Driftwood-Votive-Tutorial/


Lastly, ignore the fact that this says mother!  This is a fantastic idea (totally doing it here).  Put magnets on the back of Scrabble tiles.  You can play on the fridge or magnetic board.  I have also seen tutorials for covering cookie sheets with paper or fabric, which would make great bases.  So simple and genius!  It comes from Craftster.  http://www.craftster.org/forum/index.php?topic=304285.0

Happy crafting and blessings!
