Overview

The holiday season is right around the corner! You could try to buy the perfect gift, or you could make the perfect gift. For the Homemade Gifts Contest, we want to see what you create for the special people in your life.

All gifts are eligible, and we would love to hear about who the gift is for and why it's meaningful. Bonus points if you weave those details into your Instructable!

Share those awesome gifts and you could receive a Canon EOS camera, Samsung smart camera, a mystery prize, and more! Remember, it’s the season of giving so make, make, make and you could win, win, win!
