Crafty or Creative people!?
As we all know, christmas is right around the corner. I have bought my boyfriend some things, but i also wanted to make him something. I feel that if i make him something it would mean more to him. I have no idea where to start tho. or even what to make him. Does anyone have any ideas on what i can do? im up for anything, i love crafts and i love to paint. So anything will be good!!
thank you all in advanced.

A nice card
Perhaps a handmade picture frame with a nice photo of you two. OR you can paint him a nice picture to hang on his wall…
Get a ceramic ornament and paint it for him.
How about a painting of the two of you…no matter how it comes out. why not try to emulate that famous painting of the old farmer couple…one of them is holding a pitchfork I think. It would be cute and funny. Here is a link to something similar that I am thinking about.

I think a sweet card and a picture of you two together would be nice. I like the idea of the picture frame and a picture. You could decorate just a plain wooden one.
Example: decorate the frame with sea shells if the picture of you is at the beach. Decorate it in a Christmas theme ect.
Hope that helps.
you can paint his picture and frame it scrapbook style.
Hi: the idea’s can be homemade card’s, could be a painted lamp shade,A picture that you have painted,and find a frame,and put it in it,a painted T-Shirt,or Sweatshirt,Get some kind of thing that is porceiln,or wood that he like’s a shape,or animal,etc.and paint that for him,a Necklace that you make yourself,or a Bracelet,ring made out of bead’s,color some kind of poster,Velvet,or a Tube Poster with a design he might like,the list would never end.
Depends on your guy.
If he’s a fashionable guy, make him a scarf (knitted, crocheted, polarfleece, out of scrap fabrics or tee shirts), paint or print him a tee shirt (go to craftster.org and type in “freezer paper stencil”), steal a pair of his old ripped and no-longer-worn jeans and patch/draw on them, or go to buy a pair of white Vans-style canvas shoes and draw on them with sharpie markers (seal them with scotchguard to prevent fading and running).
If he’s got a hobby, make him an accessory for it– a guitar pick case, a roll-up pouch for art supplies, etc.
If he likes gadgets, make a case for one– an MP3 player or cell phone case, a laptop bag, a camera case…
If he’s into sentimental stuff (some guys are; some guys aren’t)– paint a picture for him of you and him; decorate a matchbox or altoids tin with pictures and little notes so he can carry your love around with him; make oversized fortune cookies with love notes in them…
And my favorite, there’s always ______ in a box. Fill in the blank with whatever he’s into– Art in a box, Hippy in a box, Emo Kid in a box, Relaxation in a box– and then get a box, fill it with appropriate stuff, and decorate the box accordingly. I’ve done (for friends, not boyfriends) Alice in Wonderland in a box (playing cards, figurines, tea, etc. in a box painted like the Cheshire cat) and Gamer Geek in a box (snacks like Ho-hos and Cheetos, Mountain Dew, a posture pillow and band-aids for gaming-induced thumb blisters). They’re fun, and you get to hunt around town for *just* the right thing.
Try checking out craftster.org– I believe they have whole sections devoted to “What should I make this person for Christmas?!” Lots of other good stuff there, too. Crafty Chica (www.craftychica.com) is another of my favorites, but that’s mostly because I like glitter.
Good luck, and Merry Christmas!
why don’t you cook some cookies, jam or sweets and packed them in boxes and pots you made and decorate whith scrapbooking ornements and miniatures. men generaly like things for there stomac

i love crafts too!!!
Take a standard photo frame and decortae it with stuff such as glitter, dimensional paint, movie ticket stubs, shrink photos with a special shrinking machine u can get at stores and attach those with color glue. If he bought u flowers some times, put those type of fake flowers on it. Get creative!!
MOST of all, if u love him , take red dimesional paint and put I LOVE YOU all over it
or
you could make cookies and jams and decorate the cookie or jam jar with the same stuff as u did for the frame
hope u like it
!!!
