Before we even know it, there will be a chill in the air and holiday season will be upon us. Its natural to think, “It’s way to early to start putting up my decorations” and while that might reign true, it is never too early to get started on present selection-especially when the presents are going to be handmade! Don’t let the chaos of holiday season stop you from getting out into your shop and creating beautiful, homemade kits—Forest 2 Home is here to help you start your DIY gifts now! Here is some DIY woodworking project inspiration to create the perfect present for the perfect person!
DIY Present Ideas
Custom wine rack and candle holders
These DIY woodworking presents are small but mighty and will become staples in whichever home they become apart of. The wine rack and candle holder sets-like that created by Gary Hilterbrandt-makes for the perfect DIY present for Mom!

Epoxy resin coasters
Feature a favorite color or customized logo with resin coasters. Epoxy resin coasters are durable against moisture and add a pop of color to whatever space they’re in! They make for great living room décor, bar cart and bar décor and are a beautiful yet functional present. Woodworking duo, Straight Edge Woodworks 508, created these epoxy resin coasters.
