Pretty Personal Presents

This week two of my good friends turned 30!   Twin sisters April and Amy are so sweet, I just love them both to pieces!  So I wanted to make them something personal for thier birthday.  Of course trying to stay in our budget and keep it simple enough to not take tons of time since I'm trying to get a meelion projects done at once! 

While strolling through Michaels I hit up the sale section where I found some great stuff for Caden's easter basket all for a dollar each! I also found these two pretty canvas for only $2 each!


I love the color and the pattern and of course the PRICE! :) And i'm fairly certain the ladies wont mind that I only spent $2 a piece on their presents ;)

I knew I wanted to paint thier last name initials on the canvas so they could hang it wherever they wanted in their homes.  So I found a font I liked in Microsoft Word, printed them off and cut them out! 

I traced them in pencil and then painted the letters a chocolate brown just using some acrylic paint.

Ta-Da!!  I dont know why I forgot to take a picture of them both finished but oh well! You get the idea :) So simple and so pretty! 

Happy Birthday April and Amy!  Love yall!

  2. Very cute idea! I love homemade gifts...they take a lot more thought than just grabbing something and sticking it in a bag :)

  3. Very very cute idea! I'm with the other girls, I think a personalized gift means so much more. How much you spend has nothing to do with it!
