What’s the Project? It can be hard to come up with creative ideas to give men for Christmas or their birthdays or other occasions. If you are looking for fun handmade gifts for men, here are some great ideas to get you started!
Seriously-figuring out gifts for the men in my life tends to be hard. My dad only wants white shirts, ties or socks, my husband likes books and also socks (what’s with men and socks?) and my Father in Law is a complete mystery. Gifts for men are hard!
You must feel the same way because you requested this…and now it’s here!
I’ve already given you 25 Gifts to Make for Kids this Christmas and then 25 Handmade Gifts for Women, so here you have it-25 handmade gifts for men!
Now, you and I both know that making things for guys is harder than it is for women. In fact, when I searched the internet for ideas I laughed at what some people called “gifts for men.” To me a throw pillow embroidered with His and Hers doesn’t scream “give this to a man!”
I’ve tried to keep these as manly as a can, and I know not all of them are for every man, but hopefully, they will get your creative juices flowing and you can find something that’s right for your guy.

December 5, 2014 at 6:50 pmI love all of these, I’ve got a conservative, golfer dad, and a very cool, stylish, metrosexual brother-in-law, and I found projects for both.
I know you joked about the throw pillows, but my 8-year-old and I did make a great one for my dad, PaPaw, who had a favorite leather chair for watching the Golf Channel. I apologize for not having a photo handy, but I’ll add one, promise! Cont’d….

December 5, 2014 at 7:11 pmPillow 4 a dad/granddad:
Cut out (2) 6″x12″ rectangles of canvas.
Have your kiddo(s) cut a heart from a scrap of burlap.Have them handwrite in pencil on 1 rectangle something like “PaPaw’s Special Places: His Chair and My Heart”. I hand-stitched over the writing in red, top-stitched the heart to one side, added the year in red, as ndmade a simple pillow. The less-perfect the heart & writing are, the more PaPaw will LOVE IT!
