10 for Tuesday: DIY Gifts for Guys

Guys are usually hard for me to shop for and even harder to think of good DIY gifts for than women. So for this week's 6 Weeks of Gifting, I've scoured the internet for 10 DIY gifts that are perfect for guys. These tutorials require knowing how to sew or a bit of crafting (with power tools and hammers, naturally). If you crochet, watch later this week for a crochet pattern for guys. (I'm on a roll with all my crochet projects!). Enjoy!





UPDATE: Check out my crochet pattern for the Chunky Stripe Hat.
It's a great gift for guys this holiday season.
