A Tip for Last Minute Gifts

We all have those times when we totally forget a gift we were supposed to get someone and it happens at many other times than just the holidays. When there's no time to go out and buy something what do you do? There's the simple and honest way to just tell the person you ran out of time to get the ideal gift you had in mind and you'd like to give it to them later or there's always the opportunity to whip up something quick. But throwing something together can be disastrous. A simple solution to this is to simply make the person a card and write a message inviting them to an event of which there you can give your present, or actually write on the card to expect their wonderful gift in the mail. As soon as you buy their gift wrap it nicely and send it in the mail; it would be as though the shipping for your present was on the slow side.

DIY Bold Ribbon Bracelet

Just a quick DIY for Day 6 of 25 Days of Christmas Crafts! This bracelet is a perfect gift to give away or a wonderful piece to a holiday party outfit! :)

What you need:
~Solid colored bangle
~Ribbons

What to do:
Without cutting the ribbon, wrap it around your bracelet and tie a bow; don't worry, it doesn't have to be perfect. Cut off the excess and then untie your bow. You can now use this length of ribbon to measure out the other ribbons. You can have as many as you want; for mine I chose to do three. Simply tie your lengths of ribbon in a bow around your bracelet and pull it tightly. Get creative with other colors combinations like red and white or different hues of blue. :D
