Shawl Every Day 2021 - Day 24 - Holiday Gift Guide: General Making
In addition to more “traditional” hand crafts like knitting and quilting, I also do a bunch of general making. I can cut and glue up my own custom foam board display stands. I can make envelopes, I can cut a foam chair cushion, I can make pincushions, I can take apart a ceiling fan. There are all sorts of makers out there who love to be creative, try new things, and support other makers.

Consumables
Makers go through a lot of STUFF. We will always need more of it.

Sandpaper
X-Acto knife blades
Super glue and activator
Sharpies (black and silver)
Pencils
Foam board
Notepads
Bandaids (let’s be honest here)
Kits
While we may have areas of making that we are more comfortable with, it’s always fun to try out new things without delving all the way in. Kits are a fun way to experiment, so pick something that your maker might be interested in, but hasn’t gotten into just yet.
Robot kits
Raspberry Pi and Arduino starter kits
Jewelry kits
Embroidery kits
Resin kits
Woodworking kits
Sculpting kits
Papercraft kits
