LIFE AS YOU LIVE IT: Fun DIY Valentine's gift for HIM!

Fun DIY Valentine's gift for HIM!

13 February 2013



I probably emptied an ink cartridge and glued my fingers together 50 times, but I am thrilled to share what I refer to as the "cut, glue and repeat" project.

A local boutique that had these wooden letter cutouts on display is what originally turned the idea lightbulb on. I'm always up for a homemade gift that incorporates memories so I fired up the 'ole macbook and started printing out a handful of wallet sized pictures in black and white. Each photo was cut and glued down onto the wooden letters from oldest to newest. I cut off any overhanging scraps and then slapped a couple coats of Modge Podge onto both sides to keep it polished and smooth.

Other homemade Valentine's Day gifts that I have made include:

  1. So you covered the whole thing in Mod Podge, like the glue stuff?

    1. Yes!

      I completely covered it with Mod Podge to give it a nice glazed look.

    1. I used regular printer paper. I'm sure photo paper would work, but I'd be worried the Mod Podge might smear the ink on photo paper.

  8. An important topic-I'm so happy to see it addressed. Thanks for sharing gift ideas for gift for men. While deciding gifts for him, one should not forget that the men are more rational and the same attitude gets reflected in their likings.
