DIY Notebook & Wallet Gift Ideas | Easy Mod Podge Crafts Under $5

I am SO happy to be here with you today because we're doing a couple of super simple, quick projects that are honestly incredible for gifting!

Listen, it's never too early to start getting all your gifts ready for Christmas. If you wait until the last minute like I normally do, you're going to spend a fortune! But if you start now and start making stuff, you are going to be ahead of the game, you're not going to be stressed out, and I think you're going to be a lot happier.

Today we're making fun notebooks (perfect for back-to-school, college kids, or moms who finally have their summer vacation now that the kids are back in school!) and gorgeous wallets that look like they came from a boutique! These are easy, fun, and CHEAP—and they make a huge impact as gifts!
