First: Fancy Salt & Pepper Shakers!
I only have one picture of this, the finished product, but what i did was take 2 very classic looking salt and pepper shakers, put a little ribbon bow on the pepper and a small string of pearls on the salt and TA-DA, they are all fancy!!!
It was inspired by a scene from a movie I used to love when I was little (I think the movie was titled Imaginarium, but I cannot find any proof on the internet that this movie exists... :( ) but anyway, there was a scene where salt & pepper came to life & were dancing together. I think it's just super cute!!! (side note: If I ever find that movie again, I will let you know!)
Second: Framed Prayer Gift
So this was the first gift I ever gave to my (now) fiance back when we first started dating. There was a prayer that I said everyday (and still say). I'm not sure where I got this prayer from (or if I made it up), but it definitely defines our relationship.
All I did for this gift was get a nice sheet of scrapbook paper, a frame, and some beads. First, I printed the prayer off on the paper, and put it in the frame (halfway done!) Then I got out my hot glue gun & glued the beads to the 4 corners of the frame.
Look how cute!!!
It turned out really great (and not super girly) and Ryan immediately hung it on his wall (where it still lives today)
Lord, Help us grow closer to each other through You,
and help us grow closer to You through each other. Amen
Third: Framed Wall Letters
So one day what I was just wandering aimlessly around Hobby Lobby I ran into this really cute wall letter cling on clearance
Now, since I live in an apartment and knew that I would have to move something in the near-ish future, I didn't want to apply it to the wall, so I found a WAY better option! I had some left over foam board laying around, so I applied it to that!
You have to put the paper down and get it all wet
Then remove paper & admire pretty letters!!!
Next, I cut the excess board away so it was a more reasonable size
No measuring involved yet
Then, I picked a pretty ribbon I had, glued it down as a frame (like I did with the white board) - here is where I measured to make sure everything was the same distance
Finally, I just off the excess from around the frame and TA-DA, complete!!!
Using a bit more ribbon as a hanger
The only thing I would change on this was that the foam board is curling in, so I will be gluing a piece of wood across the back to keep it flat.
Do you have any fun, easy crafts that you suggest I try?
