How to Make Country Decor Gifts

Country décor adds warmth to any home, so its popularity is on the rise. Country décor gifts are popular with almost anyone and making them is a lot easier than it seems. Creating heartfelt gifts for friends and family takes a few steps and simple supplies that are easy to find. 

• Think about what type of crafts you would enjoy creating. Supplies for projects can be very different, so choosing a project before buying supplies is crucial.


• Take inventory of the kinds of crafting supplies you may already have. Hot glue guns, paint, sewing supplies and stencils are just a few of the kinds of supplies used to create beautiful country décor.


• Look in craft stores, gift stores and online for crafting ideas. Find craft patterns online or in stores. Many crafting web sites offer free patterns and stencils.


• Think about the person that you are creating the gift for. Do they have an interest in a particular animal or a theme to their home? The better the gift fits with their current décor the more likely they are to enjoy the gift.


• Set aside a specific place to make your gifts. Creating most country décor will require glue, paint and possibly even some woodcutting. Having a specific area to work will prevent accidents and messes.


• Set aside a specific time to work. Many crafters begin projects and lose motivation before they are completed. Setting aside even a half an hour a day can help ensure that your gift are completed.


• Choose projects that you enjoy. If you know that you hate painting, then do not choose a craft that involves painting. There are thousands of country décor projects so there is no need to force yourself to do something you are not enjoying.


• Remember that your enthusiasm and caring will show through in the gift. The main reason people create gifts rather than buy them is to show that they care enough to put forth the effort needed. You are creating a keepsake as well as a gift.
