5 Days Of DIY Gifts | Try Living With Lucie | Refinery29

This week I tried 5 days of making DIY Gifts! Get ready to get crafty and creative all while saving some money and having fun! A big idea behind DIY is to teach yourself how to do things that you typically rely on others to do for you and reduce consumerism. For me, this week I wanted to teach myself how to do everything from create my own herb garden to make a choker and my own toothpaste and deodorant. Making the choker as a gift was so special and fun because while I could have bought something that looked even better, the fact that I made it made the gift so much more special! Also learning how to make my own toothpaste and deodorant was really simple and something that I definitely need to do every now and then!
