Keychain tags
The instructions for making these keychain tags are super easy. Plus, you know the abuelos will love having their nietos pictures on their keys. You can have each child decorate their own tag and then add their photo to it.
Silhouette ornaments
Not only are these silhouette ornaments adorable, they are the sort of gift that you could give every year to see how the kids' silhouettes change over time.
Picture frame luminarias
These picture frame luminaries are literally made with picture frames bought from the dollar store so you know they are affordable and priceless at the same time.
Family photo wreath
This family photo wreath is something the abuelos can keep up all year because family is always in season.
One of a kind chuchara de palo
Come on! Tell me that a cuchara de palo decorated by grand kids isn't the PERFECT gift for abuelos? Basically, you make these one of a kind wooden spoons by having your kids draw on them with a pencil and then you use a wood burning tool to make the design permanent.
Love canvas
This canvas art is perfect for grandparents of toddlers. A toddler may be too young to help you draw or make something, but their adorable little hands and feet can certainly be turned into a loving gift.
Soap dispenser
I adore this idea of personalizing a soap dispenser. Of course my wicked mind thinks of all the twisted possibilities like having your kids pose like they are trapped and can't get out. Hilarious!
Photo magnets
With these adorable DIY thumbnail magnets, grandparents can display their grandkids' photos on the fridge without having to search for a separate magnet. Brilliant!
Bookmarks
These DIY grandchild bookmarks are going to make abuelos laugh every single time they look at them. So funny and adorable.
Coasters
Abuelos are totally of the coaster generation. Gift them with DIY family photo coasters and they will use them ALL the time.
