As prices rise and paychecks become lower, homemade gifts for adults are becoming more and more popular. Cheap and easy homemade gifts are low in price, but gifts from the heart are far from cheap in value. It is possible to come up with high-quality cheap and easy homemade gifts for adults in honor of any occasion.

Cheap and Easy Scarves – Even if you Cannot Knit or Crochet
Adults can always use an extra scarf, especially a homemade scarf made from warm and fuzzy fleece. Soft fleece scarves are ideal homemade gifts from those that would love to give the adults on their list something to wear without having to sew a stitch, and they are cheap and easy to make. Fleece fabric is available in countless patterns and colors that appeal to adults, and you will find designs that will make fantastic gifts for the adults on your list.
Buy two yards of fleece fabric to make seven scarves that are six-inches wide, and plan on cutting the length of the homemade scarves according to the estimated heights of the adults. Typically, a homemade scarf should be half the height of the wearer. Cut the scarves approximately six inches wide, and add a few extra inches of length to each end to account for fringe. For best results, line up the material on a cheap cardboard cutting board designed for cutting patterns. They can be found online or in retail sewing stores for less than the price of two cheap store-bought scarves for adults.
After cutting the fleece to the appropriate length and width, cut fringe approximately four inches long and one-quarter inch wide on each end. Tie knots at the base of each strand of fleece to complete these cheap and easy homemade gifts for adults. Optionally, homemade scarves for women can be further decorated with beautiful glass beads. Simply string each piece of fringe through a glass bead before tying the knots.
Baked Goods in Creative Containers
Fresh-baked homemade gifts for adults are nothing new, but the way in which baked gifts are presented can make the difference between ordinary presents and extraordinary gifts. Instead of assembling cheap but delicious homemade baked goods on a disposable plate or a in cheap plastic container with a lid, come up with other creative ideas. Buy large cheap coffee mugs for the adults on your gift list, and fill the mugs with homemade mini cookies, brownies, or candy. Wrap the entire mug with cellophane, and tie the top with a beautiful bow. With cheap creative containers in mind, come up with other cheap and easy ways to give homemade gifts of baked goods.
