Top 5 Crafts & DIY Gifts
1) DIY Music Box

2) Brush Lettering Calligraphy Workbook
Try your hand at brush lettering with a calligraphy workbook. From a foundation of doing basic strokes on tracing paper, learn lowercase and uppercase letters before finally connecting them. Pick a traditional or modern lettering style to learn.
3) Handspun Banana Fiber Yarn
Darn Good Yarn: Handspun Banana Fiber Yarn - Coral
4) Intermediate Tribeca Knit Beanie Kit

5) Mixing Mate Paint Can Lid - Quart
This can mixer and lid combo for paint, varnish, and stain cans is every DIY-er’s dream come true. The Mixing Mate mixes, pours, and stores in one reusable lid—and makes the whole process easier and neater. The paddle mixes up contents, and a trigger on the handle lets you control pours. Leave the lid on to store the can between uses, or rinse it off to move on to your next job.
