Thrifty Christmas Gift Idea Under $5

If you have a large family filled with women or a lot of female friends, you may be looking for a way to give a thoughtful yet affordable gift for under $5.00.  Perhaps you might want to consider a homemade beaded bracelet.  This gift could actually cost much less than $5.00 if you buy your materials in bulk off of the internet.  Consider sites like eBay where sellers sell bulk craft items every day.

If you aren't sure about the fashion tastes of your gift recipients, make a lot of different bracelet styles and then let your friends or family choose the bracelet they want.  You may also be surprised to hear them ask if they can make their own bracelet.  So, before heading off for that holiday party, pack some crafting supplies, just in case.
