Make Your Own ...

... Picture Frame birthday gift!

For a friend, Savvy wanted to make a gift.  Here's a great idea using things we had around the house, and most likely, you do too.  :)

What you need:

Picture frame (we used 5x7)
Acrylic paints and paintbrushes
A cool birthday card received in the past
Hot glue
Scrabble tiles (optional)

First, Savvy painted the frame.  The control freak in me wanted to step in, but I refrained. 

Next, we cut out shapes from a card received from a past birthday.  Yep, I save them.  Call me a packrat.

After the frame was dry, we hot glued the cut outs and the Scrabble tiles to the frame.  The tiles spell the name of the gift recipient.

So, there you have it.  A totally free and creative birthday gift that is original and Earth-friendly.
