Go to Michaels and look at the wood aisle! and buy acrylic paint in your sorority colors and a few paint pens! you can do so much more than you think with these items and save yourself a lot of money!
i raided the wooden craft aisle in Micheals. i bought a small wooden chest for her pin. i
painted it and put her initials on the top side.it only cost a dollar!
i also bought a few wooden frames and paint penned them and painted them. i found a three tier picture frame hanger and painted it with three different designs. it only cost $5 and it looks like i bought it somewhere! it decorated the first frame with rhinestones to spell out "AOII" and hot glued a scrapbook felt panda on the other side of the frame. the next frame i painted white and wrote in red paint pen "classy and fabulous." the last frame on the hanger is red with white polka dots. it is absolutely adorable and so much fun to make.
i also decorate a cork square 1ft by 1ft by gluing a polka dot ribbon border. i then put our flower in the top left corner and a panda scrapbook felt sticker in the bottom right corner. i wrote "AOII" above the panda with a paint pen. it looks great! and it only cost about $6 to make.
i also found a wooden hoor hanger and decorated it with a panda sticker, paint, and wrote "an AOII lives here." i decorated the other side by writing the letters vertically and adorning them with rhinestones. it only cost $1 for the door hanger
in addition, i decorated 7 styrofoam cups by paint penning them with simple "AOII" on the front and the back of the cup. i stacked them and put them in a clear cellophane bag and tied it up. the ends stuck out and i curled a lot of red and white ribbon and tied it to hold the end. it looks really professional--i got the idea from a site called
www.shopthehanger.com and i saved a lot of money. this goft cost $3. so cute and so original!
i paint penned a trashcan.
I bought a picture frame with a mirror in the frame at Michaels. I painted it and painted penned "I'm an AOcutieII" and adorned it with 2 raised rose scrapbook stickers. adorable! my big made one for me and i love it!
i wrote our chants on the rim of a laundry basket and looped ribbon around the holes.
i found a set of red towels at TJMaxx and i embroidered them with a white "AOII." I did that with a red snuggie too. (inexpensive if you can find a local seamstress or friend)
I made a party mix cd and found an inexpensive makeup case and decorated the handle with fake roses on a wire. i put red lipgloss and red polish in the case.
paint penning wine glasses from the dollar tree is a great gift too.
I also found a wooden heart in the wood aisle at michaels and painted it red and wrote "alpha" for our sorority's phrase "alpha love"
