Give that pop culture obsessed friend a way to show off their allegiance to a fandom, and make them one of these sweet little gifts. Bring your friends over to share skills and materials, because crafting together is always better.
I choose many of my craft options from Cutoutandkeep.net because I enjoy tutorials made by my peers. Crafting is personal and must fit into my life, so I don't want to take instructions from a "crafter" who has a million hours and a million dollars. I'd rather take instructions from someone with a schedule and budget like my own. For these Harry Potter Rings, you can probably scavenge some wire from old jewelry, a recycling bin, or jewelry at a thrift store. Don't be afraid to think outside the (big) box (stores).
The Fault in Our Stars was one of the biggest hits of the summer. The bits and pieces of this love story, like the lover's banter, have been close to the hearts of the fans who love it. An expression as simple as "okay? okay" can fit into the story of anyone's life, and that's why it's so perfect.
What's more perfect for a 1D fan than a journal to write all those vivid fanfic drafts in? Journal bases come cheap at the dollar store, and you can use an old teen magazine for the cut outs.
If you have some knitting skills, a My Little Pony stuffy is the way to use them. Maybe you can recycle some wool from an old sweater.
Take the keychain part off an old one in your junk drawer and make something new. A little bit of polymer clay and go along way. Think of all the characters you can have watching over your keys!
Make this journal for those who want to record all the adventures time will offer. Any Dr. Who fan will love it. Use some scrap fabric and a lil' fabric paint over a cheap journal.
Earrings are simple and make great little gifts. These Zelda earrings are perfect for the hardcore gamer in your life.
Books and T-shirts go hand in hand, because they provide a blank canvas for your favourite quotes. Find a t-shirt from a second hand store, clothing swap, or your own closet, and stencil on some well-known words from famous books.
The Game of Thrones provides all sorts of little symbols that can be re-created on jewelry and accessories. The dragon egg necklace is a good symbol to start with.
The Jane Austen fandom is devoted and wrapped in romantic fantasy. With this necklace, your Jane fan can keep this written world close to their heart.
Pop culture and all that ideology sitting in the blind spot. Also crafts.
