Handmade gift ideas for teens

September 23, 2008 · 32 Comments

Some cool fabric and most of these ideas would be great for both boys and girls

CD holder for car visor

How about a car car kit with a knitted ice scraper mitt or cool recycled felted ice scraper mitt

Dopp Kit

Heat resistant hair iron cozy

Vinyl Pouch

Floppy disk pen holder

A floppy disk note pad would make a cute stocking stuffer, video instructions here

Hanging bed organizer

My boys would love a hammock! Fun video instructions another plan here

Bottlecap magnets for their locker (fun with photos of friends and cool sayings)

The first one is an excellent idea.

A covered mouse pad is a bad idea, can cause tracking problems.

And how old is that iPod Nano? aren’t the new ones thin?
#16 cindylouh March 29, 2009, 6:47 am

Thanks for the tip about mouse pads— I didn’t know that. I know many people use them.

You are right about the Nano. Last year it was perfect for my kids, but now they do have an Ipod touch. I will look for an updated soloution. Thanks!

Hello there, I do think your site might be having internet browser compatibility
problems. When I look at your site in Safari, it looks fine however, if opening in IE, it has some overlapping issues.
I simply wanted to provide you with a quick heads up!

Besides that, great blog!
