Personalized Gift Idea

I think personalized gifts can be a little hard to come up with sometimes. You want to give that special person a gift that is unique, thoughtful, and one of a kind to let them know you care. But that means you may have to think outside of the box a bit to come up with something personalized just for them.

Today I want to proportion with you this candy little signal that I made the use of a few customized wooden letters.

This could be a first rate present to present for any event.

My Husband, Jake and I celebrated our 14 year wedding anniversary during the Summer, and as a gift Jake picked out some wooden letters to give to me because he knew I could create something special with them. That alone was the sweetest gift ever! E for Emily, J for Jake.

(The wooden letters can be found HERE)

I loved these letters and right away I knew that I wanted to decoupage them and create a sign to hang above our bed. So I went to Micheals to get some decorative scrapbook paper. All I did was walk down the scrapbook paper isle and grab ones that spoke to me. When I was at the end of the isle I looked down and couldn't believe how well all of the papers all went together. Cute, right?

So to cover my letters, I first had to trace them onto the back of the scrapbook paper. I made sure to trace the wrong side of the letter, like a mirror image.

When cutting out the letter, I cut simply interior of the road. This is so a chunk of the timber might nevertheless display ultimately.

I used Mod Podge to adhere the paper to the wood letter and over the paper to seal it.

For the piece of wood I used for the sign, I just went to my wood pile and found a board that was the right size. At first I white washed the board, but then looking at my leftover scrapbook paper I decided that the sheet that had a gray wood grain design in it would be even better. So I cut the paper to fit the board and then Mod Podged it on.

I hot glued the letters onto the board and couldn't be greater thrilled with how it became out.

And like I had deliberate, I've hung the sign above our bed.

I assume it became out so candy and that is why I wanted to percentage this idea with you. Now you can create one too for a person unique on your life.
