Do you want to surprise your guy with a handmade gift, this time around? We have some ideas on cute things to make for your boyfriend. Read on to know all about it…
There comes a time in every relationship when we feel the yearning to show our boyfriends how much we care about them. There also comes a saturation point that pertains to gifts. We end up at cross roads, confused as to what to buy for them. What can we buy for them that others haven’t already thought of? Think about it, something bought out of a gift shop, is bound to be found on others as well, so how can your gift for him be unique? It just can’t be! It’s frustrating; it truly is… to realize that your gift is so common that everyone can have it, just by spending a few dollars for it.
So then comes the question, how can you make your gift unique and your own? Well it’s simple, make something with your own hands for him, yourself! Well I agree, that some people simply find it hard to make things for others because they feel they lack creativity or talent. That being a huge misconception! All that anyone has to do is to apply their own level of creativity and imagination so as to come up with something nice that can be given as a gift. So what if it looks like it’s been made by a 2 yr old? As long as you’re the creator of that fascinating work of art and as long as it’s made with love, it will be treasured by your boyfriend. So let go of all your doubts and inhibitions and make whatever comes to your mind. Just to give you a push forward, here are some ideas on some cute things to make for your boyfriend, whom you love so much! Why else would you go so far as to make something for him…think about it?
Creative Things to Make for Your Boyfriend
Firstly think about your limitations, as to what all you can do. Can you sketch? If not, can you sketch enough to let him kinda understand what you’re trying to let him know? That would do great, if you can manage just so much. Alright! So if sketching or painting something are out of the question, what about making something using computer aided technology? I’m sure you can do that? It doesn’t need much of an effort, just a bit of imagination. So here, go on and try some of these tips we have for you at Buzzle. All for your boyfriend…!

#2- Make a Collage
You have two ways of making a collage, either you make it using a chart paper or you make it on the computer. Either ways, this is one of the easiest homemade gift ideas for your boyfriend. All you need to do is to, firstly collect all the photos that you wish to be placed on the collage, so as to create a proper and logical lay out. For instance place them in sequence of events that have occurred, or memories that are precious. Copy paste, change color and size if you wish. Make edits by adding captions, and funny images if you wish. Do whatever comes freely to you. This is your collage and you have all the freedom to go crazy with it. Either take a print out or send it to him via email. He’ll love it. Though making one on paper or cardboard is always better, as he will get to see it hanging in his room whenever he comes home! Technology cannot always help us express our emotions completely, we all know that.

#3- Paint Him a T-shirt or Something
Here is what you can do, go get yourself a plain white T-shirt of his size. Now either you can make a portrait of a famous rock star such as Bob Marley, Jim Morrison, Curt Cobain, John Lennon or Bob Dylan OR you could make some thing like ‘Eddie’ from Iron Maiden! If he is into such genres he will totally flip over in joy! Or you could simply go abstract and use a splash of color and make hand prints or random art. You could also gift him a T-shirt with your photos printed on it, go for a funny pick such as one taken from a Polaroid. If not a T-shirt, try socks, or hand painted canvas shoes such as a white or gray converse, etc.

#4- Make Something Out of Hemp
Take some hemp strings, if you wish let them soak in some fabric color for each string or strings. Once they dry, you can make him a bracelet, or you can make him a chain with a amazing locket, or you can make the handle for a small cotton fabric bag that he can use as a magazine holder or whatever he chooses it for. You can even make a curtain for him if you have the patience, using a cloth that you painted and then attaching hemp braids as curtain hooks or simply getting them stitched on the curtain so that it creates a colorful pattern.

Fill up a few Cd’s with his all time favorite movies that he does not have, or movies that he hasn’t had the opportunity to watch yet. Make another with all his favorite comic strips or world Anime’s that he is crazy about. Or music from a variety of bands that he is a total fan of. All this will be much appreciated by him. If he likes, planes and machines, collect documentaries that he can watch and drool over. If he is into games such as baseball and football, get him a collection of live videos of record breaking games of yesteryear. He will be forever thankful to you for this simple but profound gesture!

#6- Make Him a Photo Frame or an Album
You can also make him a photo frame using cardboard that you can decorate, or you can use easy setting clay so as to make the frame. Use a scale and a blunt knife so as to give it patterns, you can also simply use the nip of your pencil to draw designs on the clay and then allow it to dry. Use different combination of colored clay, so as to give it a tribal or retro look for instance. If you wish to make an album, you can find hand made paper albums in creative stores, but one and place photographs, letters, paper napkins, movie tickets that you both went for together, candy wrappers or even post aids to fill up the album. Do not get one that has a lock, boys will be boys, they will lose the keys!
