These are real craft ideas that I found on the internet. These people have to be either the poorest or cheapest giftgivers ever.

Aluminum Foil Sculptures

You’ll need:
Aluminum Foil
Imagination

Use enough aluminum foil to firmly twist and ball up to the desired design. Can be mounted on wood block with glue gun, or thumb tacks. For an extra challenge try to make a body shape, that will balance on a string tied tightly between two chairs

.For this project all you need is an empty jar. You can print this saying out onto some adhesive label paper suitable for your printer or print it onto normal plain paper. Use some clear craft glue to adhere it to the jar.If you want to go all out you can add some ribbon to the jar!!!! Write this on a piece of paper on the front of the jar:

—Did you say nothing?
When you were asked what you wanted for
Birthday, Anniversary, Graduation or Christmas.
Don’t you remember saying NOTHING
Well this time someone heard you, searched their little hearts out and found exactly what you asked for!

Sleepy Snake (Ok I’ve resisted commenting on the other ones. But, doesn’t this one look like a turd that was sprayed gray?)

Your little ones will love ripping and scrunching newspaper to stuff this sleepy snake. The sticky variety of velcro dots work well to hold the snake in a coiled position and also allow kids to un-coil and re-coil the snake to their heart’s content. If you don’t have access to any you can just use strong double sided tape.
Supplies

An old pair of pantyhose, gray was used here
Stuffing (rolled up newspaper, tissue paper or rags)
Red felt or piece of red ribbon
Google eyes or pieces of white and black felt
Stick-on velcro dots or double sided tape

Acrylic paint (optional)
 

Odor Eaters
Make a footprint on one half of a 8 x10 scrap of fabric. Let dry. Fold in half right sides together and sew on two sides to form a pocket. Turn right side out and fill with a clay kitty litter. Stitch the top shut. These are great for stinky sneakers when they are not in use. The kitty litter absorbs odors and moisture.”

Spare Change Holder for Dad’s Dresser
“Spray paint a small tuna can white decorate it.”

Fish T-Shirts
“Spread fabric paint on real fish from the fish market and gently press them on men’s T-shirts.”

Plastic Lid Wreaths
“Cut out the center of a coffee lid so you are left with a donut shape. Wrap green yarn around the shape to make a wreath. Decorate with mini, red pom-poms and a red bow.”
