Thriftilicious Man Makes

After 5 years of loyal service my hubby’s laptop has gone to the Great Gig(abyte) in the Sky…and just what does that have to do with thrifty man makes? Well, as the hubs cannot function without a computer – and he’s not allowed anywhere near mine – the money set aside for his mini-holiday-birthday-extravaganza went straight into a fancy-schmancy-new-computer. I was commanded not to spend any money on b-day gifts – he claimed his froufrou new laptop was more than enough – but come on…everyone needs prezzies to open their birthday! So, I sneakily created these beauties without spending a penny:

8 completely free yet totally awesome gifts that actually brought a wee tear to his eye!

ok...ok...not all of these are clothing & accessory refashions but hey, it's not easy coming up with creations for the 'him' in your life...and 5 out of 8 ain't too shabby!

old jeans to cuffed shorts

family patchwork dolls to cover a stain on a cool vintage shirt

zip-up headphones

family egg-y nest from broken necklace beads & plant wire

a plain shirt fancied-up with a bit o' doodle stitching
