LIFE AS YOU LIVE IT: February 2013

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.
