Great handmade gifts for under $5

Last Christmas I was short for cash, but not short on people expecting presents. I visited my neighborhood Salvation Army and got all the supplies I needed to make multiple presents .. all for under $5.

This homemade picture frame is the perfect vintage-inspired addition to your dresser or desk.
I purchased a box of dried out flowers and hot-glued them to a thrifted picture frame I bought for $.50.

I used the same flowers and glued them to a candlestick holder that was also $.50 ..

Lastly, I had some scrap ribbon laying around and wrapped it around various mason jars and candle holders. This one I glued a crystal to that was part of a 10 pack I bought at Michael's for $2.00. Nice!
