This is a fun little sewing project that just about anyone can make for next to nothing. If you need a cool DIY gift idea on a budget, this little pouch is the crafty project for you. Use leftover fabric scraps or repurpose an old clothing item for a fun print. Add a zipper, and voila! Store makeup, school supplies, your phone, loose change and more in this adorable little DIY clutch.
2. Sharpie Tie Dye T-Shirt

One of my favorite projects ever, this cool tie dye T-shirt is made using only Sharpies and rubbing alcohol. Well, you will also need a mason jar, but I am thinking everyone on earth must own at least one of those by now… Get creative with your Sharpie dots and patterns, then add alcohol to make the pattern bloom into a unique artistic creation. The alcohol also helps set the Sharpie in the T-shirt fibers. Super cheap to make, you just need a plain white tee. I had my friends come over and make some and it was super fun! Cute idea for girls slumber parties or birthday party favors.
3. Reversible Coffee Cup Cozy

A cute coffee cozy makes an awesome DIY gift idea – after you have made 2 or 3 for yourself, that is! Starbucks is even better with your own homemade coffee cozy. Forego the paper wrap for a hand-sewn craft you will enjoy for many coffees to come.
DIY Phone Case With Nail Polish
Turn a phone case into a work of art instantly with this easy and quick DIY idea. You will be amazed with the way these look when they are finished! No artistic talent required, either.
4. DIY Hair Comb

Pretty! This comb takes on a whole new look when you add the colors of your choice. Much more fashionable and dressed up. I made some of these in neutral colors and then some fun brights to go with my summer stuff. Friends have been asking me to make some for them and I am seriously thinking about starting a business selling these crafts. You can buy cheap hair clips like this at Walmart or a dollar store.
