With Mother’s day coming up you might be brainstorming various ideas for sincere and heartfelt presents. Something that has become a tradition in my house, is making gifts. I’ve found that they’re a lot more meaningful then anything you can find in the store and they’re a lot of fun to make! One of the easiest things to make, and one of my first projects, is a cutting board. Technically, you could cut a block of wood and call it a cutting board, but there are many different creative approaches, such as using different colored strips of wood. Napkin holders can also be a nice addition to the kitchen, and if you are a woodturner, you can make matching salt and pepper shakers! There are so many more ideas, spice racks, jewelry boxes, clocks, sculptures, and more. The gifts you can make are only limited by your imagination!
