Stab small holes appropriately throughout
the canvas. You want this picture to light
up and glow so think about ways to really
make your picture pop!
Use a small pair of scissors to remove any
pieces of hanging canvas, in the event
that the previous step left extra canvas
sticking out.
Lay the string of Christmas lights behind
the canvasses, and match up the lights
with previously punctured holes.
Use duct tape or electrical tape to secure
the strand of Christmas light to the back
of the canvas.
Secure the light plug toward the bottom
of the painting with duct tape or
electrical tape.
Make sure your finished canvas is able
to be positioned, safely, and close to a
power outlet.
Quote of the Day Box/Basket
This gift has always been a big hit on
my holiday gift list. And, it is incredibly
simple, but extremely heartwarming, at
the same time.
Simply attach your favorite quotes to
a small piece of candy. You can also
use prayers, memories, or even trivia
questions, for a slightly less
personal touch.
This truly is the gift that keeps on
giving…literally, each and every day
of the year!
Family and Friends Calendar
Another great idea that continues
to give throughout the year, a
personalized calendar for the
following year is something
everyone needs.
Instead of a random cat, or
common landscape, why not add
a touch of love and appreciation to
the everyday calendar? Whether
you choose to use your favorite
memorable photographs of your
family and friends, or you would
rather use pictures of things they
like (hobbies, interests, vacation
destinations, etc.), a personalized
calendar is a great way to show
any special someone how well you
know them.
