10 for Tuesday: DIY Gift Ideas for the Chef

Today I'm kicking off my 6 Weeks of Gifting. Counting down to Christmas, each week I'll feature different DIY gift ideas and new tutorials. I love to give gifts that I made myself. I think it gives a personal touch and makes a unique gift. This first week is dedicated to those who love to cook and bake and spend time in the kitchen. I have for you today 10 kitchen-themed DIY gifts that involve sewing, crocheting, or just a bit of crafting.




UPDATE: Check out my sewing tutorial for these mini potholders.
They'd make a great gift for someone who loves to bake.


Now let's get back to the list...
