DIY Photography Name art

Give a gift that’s crafty, thoughtful, and inexpensive this season with your own “Name spelled out in pictures”

Typically, these cost a lot to make. But why not do-it-yourself?

One day I went around and took pictures for my friend Victoria. I got them printed and taped them to a piece of wood. It didn’t take long and it ended up looking great! I wrapped it with some burlap to make it look vintage, and she adored it:)

This is a great gift for someone who has everything. You could also do words in your own home like “Love” or “Hope”

Creative gifts part 2!
If you haven’t seen Creative gifts check it out in the crafting and holiday category!

Here is the Money Flower

It’s super easy too! All you need is string and 15 $1 bills.

Roll 14 of the bills into rolls

And then put them through a string for your necklace. Now you have the flower to do

Fold the bill like a fan, and make it into a bow. Make the bow fuller by taping the edges into a flower shape. Finish it up with a piece of tape to the necklace!

Creative Gifts

Nowadays it seems the only thing to give people is money. It’s a guaranteed gift that they will use, but do you want to be one of many who sticks $20 in a card?
No! You want to give cash in a really awesome way! I will be trying to do these every chance I get because they are really helpful.
Here is one I really like.

It’s pretty simple too.
You need an umbrella and however much money you want to give. ($1 bills are the best to make it look like a ton of money)

Tape your money to string with tape that won’t make the dollar rip. Be sure to use a variety of heights. Tie or tape the string to the umbrella and repeat! You have to be careful when closing the umbrella so the money doesn’t get all bent. I didn’t know this so some of my dollar bills are bent, but they don’t mind.
This gift was a hit. She loved it so much!
Caution: If they open it publicly it will get many oohs and ahs but everyone will then want a creative gift…

I hope this helps!
More creative gifts to come I guarantee!
