Earth friendly Ideas for Holiday Gift Giving
If you are dreaming of Green Christmas, we've got some great gift ideas for handmade and eco-friendly gifts that are kind to the earth as well as your budget!
- Turn second-hand items into unique handmade gifts with a touch of Real Milk Paint color. Paint a stool or table to match a decorating scheme. Real Milk Paint pigment powder and paint base allow you to create the perfect shades. Use stencils or add artwork to create personalized designs.
- Use scrap wood to create one-of-a-kind Christmas decorations and ornaments. For an artistic look, apply Natural Crackle, and then paint with your favorite Real Milk Paint color. Add natural elements such as pinecones for a rustic flare.
- Create treasured gifts for the little ones on your list by sprucing up old toys from your basement or attic. Use Real Milk Paint colors to bring new life to painted surfaces. Real Milk Paint is all natural and suitable for toys and children's furnishings. Note: Be sure that all of the old and peeling paint is removed before applying the new paint.
- Outdoor decorations such as greeting signs or figures for the front yard make wonderfully unique and creative gifts. Real Milk Paint is suitable for use on outdoor decorations when used with the outdoor additive.
- Pick up used baskets from a thrift store or flea market and paint them a festive color from Real Milk Paint palate of paints, or blend your own unique color. Fill finished baskets with homemade treats for a deliciously creative gift that can be used again.
- Design and create decorative stones for the nature lover or gardener on your list. Use Real Milk Paint pigment powder colors added to concrete to create an impressive look.
When wrapping your treasures, skip the expensive and wasteful commercial gift wrap. Make your own using old newspaper. Decorate with a raffia bow and painted wooden gift tag that can be re-used as an ornament.
Finally, for the creative do-it-yourselfers on your list, consider giving them the gift of Real Milk Paint. Our popular gift boxes are a fun way to give REAL Inspiration for the holidays!
