Think crafting is all about feminine flair? Think again.
We gathered five great DIY gift ideas for men — with no ribbon or Mason jar in sight.
Tie clips
Hair pins form the base of these cool tie clips, made totally unique — and so stylish—with embroidery floss and paint pens. Brit + Co. has the how-to.
Bow tie
Dress your guy to the nines for all those holiday parties with a DIY bow tie in any fabric that, ahem, suits him. Go to Brit + Co. for the tutorial.
Bookends
Mod Podge Rocks has the how-to for bookends with a sports theme — but you can adapt this project to any motif for other hobbies and interests. Find instructions for the look here.
Coasters
We love a project that’s as fun as it is functional. These comic-book coasters from Mod Podge Rocks are simple to create and make a great gift. Learn how you can recreate these coasters here.
Coffee gift basket
A Beautiful Mess has the perfect gift for the caffeine-fueled guy in your life: a gift basked filled with personalized mugs and coffee blends that you can whip up in a snap. Get the tutorial here.
