Hi Kids and all,
This post is about trying to make some DIY gifts for the first time for a football fan who is 8 years old.
The websites I used have free printables which I used for my personal gifting in a different way. Below the post, you will find the details of the same under references.
What you will need –
Free printables / images of football and everything related to football. Google for these.
Printer
Ivory white cardstock paper
For the scrapbook : Green cardpaper, football stickers

We managed to make the following —
1) Tea coasters

2) Timetable

3) Luggage tags & Notebook labels – The luggage tags were printed with the name and address and then laminated.

   Luggage tags

   Notebook labels

4) Wordsearch game

5) And finally the scrapbook : – )

6) A personalised placemat completed the seven items and we added a small bookmark in green. The placemat lamination did not come out right. The paper should have been less thick to get a proper lamination. Hence, we gifted without this but added a bookmark.
This way there were total seven DIY item and one book which made eight items for his eighth birthday 🙂
We hope this provides you with some ideas to make your own DIY gifts too. And hope you enjoyed this post. Do share your ideas too.

Have a great day,
