Inexpensive Gift Ideas

Summer always brings lots of weddings, baby showers, and house warming gifts.  I always want to give a personal gift but never have a lot of money to spend.  So, I'm always on the look out for cheap diy gifts.  

I wanted to make a personalized planting pot so I bought a plain clay pot from Home Depot and spray painted it black with some left over spray paint we had in the garage. 












Then I printed off what I wanted to put on the pot in a font that I liked and traced around the letters on top of the pot.

Since the paint hadn't been dry for very long it scratched the black paint off making it easy to see the tracings.

 Then I painted inside the lines.  You don't have to worry about staying inside the lines because you're painting over them anyways.

I thought it turned out so easy I made one for Sean's sister as well.




And then one for our front porch too! 


I used the left over paint from the dresser to add some color and the purple flowers add some nice inviting color as well.
