Negative: Pretty but Pricey Etsy Listings
Positive: Sweet and Sentimental DIY Gifts
I wanted to give my officiant (who is also my uncle) a gift for
doing us the honor of marrying us this June. I found the cutest frames on
Etsy. They all consisted of a piece of wood, a quote, and a picture. The
quotes vary from “Thank you for raising the man of my dreams” to “Today a
bride, tomorrow a wife, always your little girl.” Although they were cute, they
just didn’t convey the message I wanted to send to my uncle. Plus, the prices
started at $60-$75.
How I made my positive:
Before:
I cut the board so that it would fit my two frames and a
quote in the center.
I sanded, primed, and painted in white.
While I waited I pulled the stand on the back of the frames off so the frames would lay flat on the board.
I used two nails per picture frame to hold them in place.
After paint:
What I love: The total cost of my project was the price of
the frames ($20). I already had the wood, primer, and paint. I will be making
more as gifts but staining the wood instead of painting. Will update soon!
What I would change: I need a quote to go in the center. Any
suggestions?
