Tuesday Turn About #73 DIY Gift Ideas
The party is going strong, and this week is Tuesday Turn About #73 DIY Gift Ideas!
TUESDAY TURN ABOUT #73 DIY Gift Ideas
We featured some AWESOME fall recipes at last week’s party!
Welcome everyone! So glad to have you at the party this week!
It seems I’m overly pre-occupied with the weather these days, but it’s just a wee bit crazy here still.
We’ve had wonderful mid 70s for over a week now, but it looks like a couple of scorchers will be hitting at the end of the week… and then? Then we dip down into the 60s!!!! What’d I tell ya?! Crazy! What’s happening in your area with the weather?
This week, some DIYs were shared at the party that are great gift ideas, too. Are you ready to start your Christmas shopping/diying yet? (I think I am!) So, let’s take a look as some DIY gift idea inspiration!
And remember…
But before we start the party, let’s take a look at a couple of tips!
This post may contain affiliate links, at no additional cost to you. For more information, see my complete disclosure HERE.
Weekly Household Tip
When painting a room, do you use painter’s tape for cutting in and protecting surfaces from over-paint? I often do, too.
However, this weekend I decided to use my Zibra 2″ Angle Brush for the cutting-in of my bathroom walls. It worked like a dream. No painter’s tape needed, and the lines were straight and even. Saved lots of time, too!
Weekly Blogging Tip
Do you know what Domain Authority is? According to OptinMonster.com:
Domain authority is the most accurate representation of the search results landscape and a key to understanding why certain websites rank higher than others. Higher DA sites perform better than lower DA sites. As a result, there’s a direct correlation between high DA scores and higher rankings.
To find out what your Domain Authority score is, simply put your domain URL in the free DA checker from ahrefs.com. Give it a try!

This Week’s Features:
A Gift Mat
Party newcomer and blogging buddy Kori from The Farmhouse Life is sharing a tutorial on creating a seasonal outdoor mat. For those of us that don’t have a machine, this is a great alternative for stenciling a mat, and it would make a great gift (for any season/occasion), too! (Be sure to visit Kori’s lovely blog!)
Thoughtful Bath Bombs
Why do I consider these DIY bath bombs ‘thoughtful’? Because Ellen from The Socialite’s Closet created these bath bombs for sensitive skin! Just think, you can make them for just about anyone to enjoy. 🙂 My little grandson struggles with eczema, but he loves bath bombs, so I think these will be on my list to make for stocking stuffers!
A Fragrant Fire…. Starter
Have you ever used a fire starter? I have, and they are quite amazing! And these fire starters from Satsuma Designs are not only practical, they are pretty AND smell amazing (can you see why?)! AND, Jennifer is sharing a free printable with us, too! Take a look at all her wrapping suggestions, as well!

Don’t you just love the holiday season? This period of Thanksgiving with Christmas just on the horizon is always a special time! Can’t wait to see what everyone shares this week!
Our weather has been crazy too! Mostly hot for October until the end and now we had two mornings in the 30’s! Brrr! I’m not ready for that! lol
Thanks for hosting and have a great week,
Melissa | Little Frugal Homestead
Oh man… I don’t think I’ve ever seen 30 degrees here. That’s cold!
Thank you Julie! And thank you for all the great tips! Those fire starters are so unique and pretty! Happy November!
I’ve never gotten so many comments on a feature! They are pretty cool… hot… you know what I mean. 😉
Luckily we have been having a wonderful fall! Thanks for hosting!
Cindy
So nice to have a consistent season, Cindy!
Thank you for hosting! This is what I featured the week of 10-26 to 10-30-2020 on my blog. On Tuesday was Sugar Free Homemade Applesauce. Wednesday was No Bake Oreo Crumb Cheesecake. Thursday was Italian Meatloaf. And winding up the week was Baked Sea Scallops. Enjoy!
Of course, Marilyn… great shares this week!
Great features Julie – your party-goers are so creative!! And I can’t wait to see what my DA score is! 🙂 Thanks so much for hosting, and Happy Tuesday!
Always love seeing you her, Barbara!
thanks so much for hosting, Julie. those firestarters are so cool. Love that idea! Hope your weather settles down. We are finally getting our “fall” weather here in November! Have a great week!
I think fall is finally here, Debra… maybe for ‘good’… well, at least a month! Hehe! Those firestarters seem to be a fave!
So many wonderful projects – thanks for hosting!
Shelley
Love having you with us, Shelley!
Thanks for hosting a delightful party! Happy November
Of course, Sandra. Always blessed by your posts!
Thanks so much for hosting each week!! It is greatly appreciated!! Stay safe, healthy and happy!!
Hugs,
Deb
We appreciate you, too, Debbie! Hugs!
Julie!!! Thank you so much for the feature! I’m so thrilled! And what a great idea featuring gift ideas. The holidays will be here before we know it!! And these would make fabulous gifts!
Oh, so glad you made it to the party… and this week, too! Fun getting to know you more through these collabs and parties!
Aren’t Zibra brushes amazing! They are my go-to brushes for EVERYTHING, including cutting around walls. We are having record-breaking warm temperatures here as well. It is unheard to not need a jacket in November. But old man winter is making his appearance again this weekend. Enjoy the rest of your week and thanks for hosting!
Yes… Zibra brushes all the way! That IS crazy not to wear a jacket in November where you are! Hope you are having a good week so far!
Thank you for the party!
Of course, Amy! So glad you are here!
Our weather has been cool but we are headed back up to 60! Thanks for hosting. There are always so many amazing projects!
LOL… “heading back up to 60”! I was thrilled with the ‘freezing’ 50 tonight! So many things are relative. LOL!
Julie your painting tip is gold! I have a room to paint and I’ve been putting it off because of all the prep. I may need to give your Zebra brushes a go instead, what a time saver that would be! Thanks for the party and I hope you are having a lovely week!
Thanks, Jayne… I actually learned that tip from my daughter’s father-in-law. He helped her cut-in her kitchen and only used a brush. Not sure why I hadn’t thought of it before! 😉
Happy day, Julie! Thank you so much for featuring my scented fire starters. I hope these little treats keep friends cozy this winter! Best, Jen
They are so pretty, and so clever! I need to get on the ball and make some for friends!
Thanks for the party Julie and happy November. The temperature swings are totally crazy and add the darkness with the time change it feels like the year is just flying by. I love the idea of those fire starters! Have a great week.
XO- MaryJo
Aren’t those firestarters lovely? So smart! I agree… the time change always throws me for a loop!
Those fire starters are so pretty! I bet they smell wonderful! We burn for heat, so will definitely try those! Thanks also for the blogging tips! I always enjoy those! Going to check my DA now!
Glad you are enjoying the tips, Jennifer…Hope you got my DM today.
