Be a Giver: Gift of Love

One of my co-workers is making this adorable gift for her parents! I've been on a kick of creative homemade ideas and when she told me about her project- I had to share!

In theory, the project is relatively easy. Think of a word that would be meaningful to the receiver. In this case, she choose "love". Then, look for architecture and unique items of the letters in the word. This is definitely the hard part!

She first found the "o" in Chicago. Then, found the "e" from a strand of Christmas lights; she just zoomed in. The "l" is a staircase banister, and the "v" is a harp. She wanted each of her letters to go with a Christmas theme.

After you find all of the letters, you can crop, edit, and then frame the photos to spell out your word and voila you have a great gift idea!

I love that this gift can be used for any time of the year! You can do last names for newlyweds, grandparents names for mother's day, father's day, grandparent's day, or birthdays, or you can choose more meaningful words for special occassions. "Love" would even work great for Valentine's day!
