One of my friends always complains about how she has way too much blank wall space in her bedroom and no idea how to fill it. I happen to have the opposite problem, but more on that later. I thought a good Christmas present for her would be a monogrammed 16x20 in canvas that matches the colors of her bedspread. I do everything freehand, but I was definitely inspired by some art on Pinterest for the flower wreath. For that and the pink background, I used acryllic paint. I was going to paint the monogram, but I knew I wouldn't be able to be as precise as I would be able to with a Sharpie. Whenever I draw someone's monogram, I usually just google "monogram fonts" and go from there. Again, I prefer to freehand.
For our final chapter meeting of the year for our sorority, this same friend and I went out of our way to make the theme "Christmas" and encourage other people to dress up. I don't like to miss opportunities to be festive. 3 layers of green tulle sewn to ribbon (to tie), about 12 small ornaments, and a $1 tree topper from Target attached to a headband, we were decked out as Christmas trees! It was a pretty cheap outfit overall, I think it costed us $10 each. And it led to a pretty entertaining/over-the-top outcome ;)
