Grandparent’s Day is coming up in September so it’s a good time to think about making them some meaningful gifts! I love all the ones where the grandchildren get to help out. I searched and found my favorite creative grandparent’s day gifts for you all to think about making! Hope you enjoy them… just click on the links to get directions on how to make it.

Gift Ideas for Grandma

  • Handmade Photo Bracelet – This is adorable and any grandmother would love to see their grand babies where ever they go.
  • Ceramic Flower Dishes – Grandma’s will love these homemade dishes to put their keys or candy in!
  • Tea Wreath Gift– If grandma loves her tea, make a pretty wreath for her to enjoy in the kitchen!
  • Watering Can Photo Gift – This gift is for a gardener and it’s very special because the grand kids photos are inside the flowers.
