Chipboard Letter Canvas

My sister recently got married, as I'm sure you all recall, and I wanted to share part of the present I got her.  Really, I would have loved to give her a ginormous present, but our current situation doesn't quite allow for that.  Soooo she got some kitchen stuff :)  She reads this blog (and is always leaving sweet comments), so hopefully she didn't think it was a lame gift and is now thinking it's doubly lame because I'm blogging about it....



Can I just say that packaging a gift is my favorite part???  I liked this one mostly because I decided to get a bowl to hold the little stuff instead of just a box.  It was a really pretty retro bowl from the thrift store that I thoroughly washed (don't worry, Courtney!). 




The part not shown above was this little canvas. These are all the rage right now, it seems, so I couldn't resist copying.  Her new last name starts with an H, so I just got a cheap little canvas (12x12", I think) at Hobby Lobby and a chipboard letter, glued and sprayed.  I didn't do a good job of photographing before I wrapped...



What was super annoying was that I really wanted to do C & B --- but I searched that store for literally thirty minutes and could not, for the life of me, find an ampersand.  Annoying.  I guess those who made the ones on Pinterest shop at classier establishments than HobLob....

It was super easy, cost a few bucks, and now I want one for myself. :)

  2. Dude, honestly, good for you. I've put myself in debt over stupid wedding gifts that people didn't even appreciate. I wish I had been smart enough to just get them what I could afford. And you did it up cute too!

    That canvas is pretty awesome. I hadn't seen that version, with a big letter.
