11 Graduation Gifts to Make

[pinit]

 

It’s that time of year again. Graduation! While all of my kids are now out of High School they do have friends who are still graduating and we do know people graduating from college. It will still be a couple of years before any of our three college students graduate but you know I’m looking forward to that day. At least my checking account is anyway!

Whether you make all or just a part of the graduation gift it will cut down on some of the cost if you can handmake portions of it. Besides, it is always nice to receive something handmade no matter who you are! Right?

 

Gift Card Cozy

Stitch up a fun Gift Card Cozy from Make It & Love It.

This might also be a great place to store a Student ID, passport or drivers license.

 

Vintage Pillowcase Laundry Bag Tutorial

Vintage Pillowcase Laundry Bag Tutorial from In Color Order

A laundry bag may not be sexy but laundry has to be done. Even the guys might enjoy receiving a vintage Star Wars or Power Rangers laundry bag. Don’t forget to add a roll or two of quarters and other necessities.

 

Make a Boyfriend Pillow

Make a Boyfriend Pillow by Maya In the Moment for iLoveToCreate

For the gals (or guys) on your list who have a sense of humor.

 

Tshirt Quilt

T-Shirt Quilt by Blessings Overflowing

I wouldn’t make a big project like this for just anyone but for someone close to me. Definitely!

 

Laptop Bag

 Laptop Bag from The Sewing Rabbit

 

 

State Pride Decor

State Pride Decor from Lolly Jane

For the graduate who might be going to college out of state.

 

Money Lei

Money Lei from Pioneer Party

 

Photo Collage

Photo Collage from Crafty Et ceteras

Whether it’s childhood photos or some favorites from High School this is another great project that preserves memories and allows your grad to decorate their dorm with fond memories.

I think this would be great with a photo of a beloved pet that has to stay behind while the grad goes off to college.

Graduation Tote Bag

Monogrammed Graduation Tote Bag from Inch Mark

Tote bags are always useful. Fill this one with some school necessities and you are ready to give. Gift bag included!

 

 

Laundry 101 Gift Basket

Laundry 101 Gift Basket from Darling Doodles

ANNND now we are back to laundry. It is often one of the most challenging skills for young people to master when they leave home and I’m sure any help will be appreciated. Again, don’t forget a roll of quarters.
