The Busy Person’s Guide to Making 15 Amazing DIY Holiday Gifts in 15 Minutes a Pop (or Less!)

Kelly Phillips Badal

When gifting something handmade, every maker wants to hear the satisfying words, “Wow, you made this?!” from the lips of their recipients. But let’s face it: Great DIY gifts take time, and time is what no one has this month.

Luckily for you, we’ve rounded up a few of the rare projects that are really, really desirable yet won’t take hours to customize, personalize, or make from scratch. The most active time frame we’re estimating you’ll spend on any of these DIY gifts is about 15 minutes. (And several will take you less than five!)

All of the supplies you’ll need for each project can be easily sourced from a local craft store or grocery, or via a superfast shipper like Amazon.

C’mon, you’ve got an extra 15 minutes, haven’t you? Get ready to look like you worked really, really hard on these semi-handmade presents.

We’ll never tell anyone what little effort each project actually took.
