I'm a broke person and have one dollar so far presents for my family. I have lots of members in my family and I want to buy something that matters. I can get spare change, and things. Anyone have ideas for gifts you can make at home?
PS: Please don't suggest chore coupons and pencil holders, because that's what I get them every year.
Right now, I'm thinking about just maybe carving stuff into clay and giving that to them.

with one dollar? jeez I don't know...

I always just make everyone cards
Or give them something I made in art class
But I've been known to make excellent cards so I usually stick with that
And if I give them something I made in art class then it spends five years in a drawer until I find it and give them a speech about how art should be displayed and whatnot
So yeah cards
And you might as well write some cheesy "I love you" junk in it to make it meaningful which makes up for the fact that it cost you absolutely nothing
Not like that matters anyhow; it's the thought that counts
Something like that

There's a lot of hand-made crafts you can make for cheap. I usually create jewelry and make pendants out of clay.
If you have clay, here's a webpage with some Christmas clay crafts and other ideas. The holiday section is a good place to start checking for ideas, although there are other ideas to check out: http://www.polymerclaycentral.com/masterindex.html

No problem.
If Polymer Clay Central isn't cutting it out for you, or if you're looking for more stuff, you can go to deviantART and punch in "clay tutorial" in the search box for more clay craft designs.
