An Engagement Party Gift

So, I am so into creating my own gifts lately and last night I went to an engagement party for my friends, David and Ashley. They are getting married this summer and the party was SO much fun! We ate, drank, toasted, watched them open presents and then danced the night away! It was a blast! Wish I had pics from the party...but, instead I have pics of the gift I made them. Ashley said it was their first gift with their new last name :-)

First I painted a plain canvas a neutral khaki color (since I am not sure what their home decor will look like)

Next, buy a cute frame...

then tie a ribbon to the frame...

get some self-adhesive vinyl, cut out your design on a Cricut, and press it on the canvas

The finished product! Such a great party engagement gift!
