Week 7- Gifts for Less!

I am so excited about this week's post because these items literally took less than an hour to create! I made a personalized bridal shower gift and Valentines for my coworkers all for less than $20 and I think they look fantastic!

First, I saw this project on Pinterest. It looked so cute and easy. I'll admit I was reluctant because usually things that look so cute and easy AREN'T! Well it just so happens it is! I used my Cricut machine to cut the bride-to-be's new last name out of contact paper in order to make a DYI stencil. Then, using the etching creme for 60 seconds, it made this!



I'll include a great recipe and a few hot pads and that's it! Less than $10 and I'm able to give a great personalized gift.


Next I wanted to try this project as a Valentine's gift for my coworkers. They looked so cute with the tiny shovels. Using the site above, I printed sticker labels, ordered inexpensive plastic shovels, and used clear baggies of M&Ms for the rest. In fact, the candy was the most expensive part.





Have I mentioned that I LOVE Pinterest! It really has enabled me to get a ton of cute stuff created for my family and home. Now I even have a great resource for gift giving too!
