More gift ideas

This gift idea is probably my favorite because it costs so little, but looks very expensive and custom.  The possibilities are endless!  These signs are perfect for wedding gifts, but you could make one for anything... and a couple for yourself of course.  The only thing you need is a small piece of wood (I usually use scraps from one of Sean's projects or we buy the scrap wood from Home Deport which usually costs less than a dollar- one time they even gave it to me for free , gotta love that!) and some paint.  The first thing I do is paint the wood a solid color, but you can leave it plain if you want.  Then, I print off what I want to put on the board in a cute font off my computer.
 Then I use a ball point pen to trace around the letters.  You have to press down pretty hard so your pen will make an indention in the wood.  Then, you peel off your print out and paint around the inside of your lines.  Once again you don't have to worry about it staying in the lines perfectly because you won't see them and the indentions help to keep the pain contained.

 I like to add the names on top to give it an extra personalized element.  But you just do the same process and voila!  Great wedding gift you know the couple will love that cost you a couple of dollars.  Can't beat it!
