During holidays and other occasions, finding a gift for your loved ones could be a problem. Its either you do not know what they like or what they need. But still, any gift will be appreciated especially if it has some personal touch. Do woodworking projects and express your creativity. By doing so, you can also save money since some required materials and tools can be found at home. However, if you have not yet tried doing at least one before, start with small wood crafts for the meantime. This will give you enough experience to try more difficult wood crafts next time.
So, what woodworking projects can you make as a gift? For simple projects, you can try small shelves, birdhouses, and picture frames.

Another woodcraft that you can try to make is a birdhouse. It is a popular home décor that even if a family does not have a bird pet, they still keep one to serve as decoration. Others have birdhouse wall clocks too. However, if you have a particular bird pet, you need to make a different birdhouse. It should be big enough for him to move around.

This woodwork is easy to do and not costly too.

But with sufficient training, you can make rounded picture frames, or others with nice carvings.
