First of all, we’re not sure we can handle so much cuteness in one post, but we’re going to try to compose ourselves. There are lots of ways you can customize a playhouse to make it a truly unique DIY Christmas gift for kids. You likely have a wreath on your door, why not hang one on theirs too? Use COLORSHOT Spray Paint in a shimmering white like Bubble Bath to create pretty snow effects on their wreath for a wintery touch. Don’t forget to add a bright bow!

Did you know you can even customize a doormat with spray paint? (Trust us, we spray paint everything.) You can make your own stencil using a cutting machine or even hand cutting on freezer paper, then spray paint! Sure, you could also buy a doormat, but this is a DIY Christmas gift for kids we’re talking about, so DIYing their gift is part of the fun! Customize the design that means something special for your child, like their name or favorite animal or toy.

It’s Christmastime, so don’t forget to add the tree! You can spray paint snowy white effects onto it like the wreath, or if you’re feeling a little (or a lot) more colorful, try a Gilded Woodland Tree or even a Pink Donut Tree. (Donuts and Christmas together? Sign us up!)
