DIY Personalized Wedding Gift

I mentioned yesterday that I we went to a wedding this weekend in celebration of some our friends in the area!  Instead of a traditional gift (since registries are usually cleared by the time I get to shopping for a gift) I created this personalized wedding gift!

I've seen so many great ideas, like this one, on Pinterest and had to make this project happen. 

Here is what you need:

Canvas

Chip board letters

Tacky Glue (hot glue doesn't work)

White spray paint (matte finish)

Large Letter

First... punch out the letters you need. I got my letters in a huge pack from Hobby Lobby.

Next, arrange them on the board before you glue them down with tacky glue.  Hot glue doesn't work.  It dries too fast and raises the letters up off the canvas.

Here is how your canvas may look pre-spray paint....

Here is your after! I like to use a matte finish spray paint.  You never know where they might hang this is their home (hopefully they do...) so to reduce glare from the sun shining through a window matte finish spray paint works great.

It's pretty simple!  I would definitely hang one in my house.  Rule of thumb for gift-giving: Never give something you wouldn't like to receive! (unless it's on their list...)
