Tape off the area you don’t want to paint, lay out some newspapers and start spraying that gold paint. First, grab some painter’s tape and a can of gold spray paint. If you’re making more than one, then feel free to select photos of you with the happy couple, as well. I bet they’d love to see a picture of you hanging from their tree as well. You might not celebrate Christmas with them, but with this gift, you’ll definitely be a part of the newlywed’s first Christmas as a married couple. They’d be a lovely addition to their new home if they’re just setting it up.
When I first got married, serving pieces were some of my most valuable things in the kitchen, as it seems like we were always entertaining. This tray fits nicely in both casual and formal settings, so it is versatile and sure to be put to use. Perfect for cheese or meats, a tray for nuts or other munchies, this DIY project is quick to make and only costs a few dollars to make. Use the couple’s favorite colors to create unique linens for entertaining. Follow Karina from Maple Ash and Oak through this simple tutorial on Poppytalk to make napkins, table runners, placemats, and other pretty wedding gifts.
DIY Gift Using Cricut Explore Air
I like to keep these ingredients on my counter, ready to be used. But, if they are going to sit out on my counter, they have to be cute. So I customized a couple simple bottles I picked up at Target for $4 each. Simple letters in crisp white give these bottle a clean modern look and feel.
Maybe you should just buy stock in polyester stuffing. You’re sewing and stuffing pillows left, right, and center for wedding gifts. No couple can have too many kitchen tools, so why not spruce them up a bit? This idea from A Pretty Cool Life couldn’t be simpler. Just paint the bottoms of wooden utensils with non-toxic, dishwasher-safe enamel paint.

I bet you can find some leather circles or patches at a local craft store. You’ll also need some silver paint to add that metallic touch to the rustic leather. Speaking of cheese boards, look at how this tray looks. You can use it for bread, or to serve canapes and finger food, too. They’d be a wonderful wedding gift, much better than an old gravy boat.
You’ll need a plain utensil holder, spackling paste for the grooves, and a putty knife from here. You can go wild with the paint or stick to classic white to pull off the ceramic finish. Only this time, instead of fringes, you’re making tiny pompom fluffs to glue onto the pillow. You’ll also need some porcelain paints like these. You’ll just need a roll of oven-bake clay and a craft cutter machine, like Silhouette Cameo or Cricut Explore Air.
DIY Quote Pillow
You’ll need pretty much everything you used for the previous his and hers towel hooks for this DIY project as well. Look up some Japanese prints and get started on painting them on the bowls. Once you melt the wax, it’s time to jazz it up with some dried herbs. You can also add a few drops of food dye to the wax if you want some color.
You can just as easily pop into your local craft store for the sharpie markers if you don’t have them already. You can paint them, or leave them be if you prefer. You’ll also want wooden cork stumps for the base and a handful of thumbtacks for the candles.
Salad tongs, they surprise me how much I love having nice ones. Seems such an afterthought, but when you love serving and eating salads, then what you toss them with really matters. I have acquired several cool wooden salad bowls over the years, and also several sets of pretty tongs. Give the newly married couple a set to cherish and use for many years. This fun set uses vintage inspired beads, or even real vintage beads and jewels to make for the prettiest of forks and salad spoons.
With some crafty supplies like Liquidex , you can create this fun project from A Beautiful Mess to give to the happy couple. Etsy always has the best customizable, to-order gifts. Be it for weddings, housewarming gifts, or party favors.
Pick up two porcelain mugs and a permanent marker, design, then pop in the oven. Apart from your usual sewing supplies of needles, thread, and scissors, you’ll also need some stretchy fabric and dry polyester fiber filling from here. It’s surprisingly easy to transfer a printed image onto a canvas—and make it look like you painted the realistic pic yourself.
Use fine-tip markers if you’re going to design something that requires fine lines and tricky detailing. Once you’ve sketched and painted your mugs and they’ve dried, there’s one more step. While you’re at it, how about stenciling some patterns on the wood? Pawprints, something floral or geometric, or even just casual stripes can do wonders to jazz it up. You’ll need pinewood blocks, a ruler, a composite square, a couple of these decorative hooks, and your choice of wood stain. Now spread out some newspapers before you get started because this project is bound to get messy.
