Craft a One-of-a-Kind Anniversary Gift for Your Love

Even though giving and receiving gifts is fun, this year we decided we didn’t really want to buy something just for the sake of buying it. So, I came up with this budget-friendly DIY gift idea.

First, I found the frame I wanted to use. I needed to know how much space I was going to be working with so I could appropriately size my hearts and labels.

Next, I cut different sized hearts out of heavy cardstock and placed them in the 8×10 space to see how big I wanted them.

I used google maps to print out the various locations I wanted to use: where we met, married, 1st home, hospital where our kids were born, and our forever home.

Next, I assembled everything on cardstock and framed it. It was a great, sentimental anniversary gift that didn’t cost an arm and a leg to make, and it was a perfect and meaningful surprise for my hubby.
