Diy housewarming gift idea

Hey there!!~

Today, I am sharing a diy housewarming gift idea that I had not intended on doing.

The perfect housewarming gift for under $10.00

You see, I bought a gift on line. When it arrived the day of the housewarming party I was terribly disappointed in the actual size of it.  It wasn’t cheap either, but I have to admit it was my own fault for not looking at the actual dimensions.  I was scouring the net for something industrial in style considering that is the couples personal style and when I ran across this lantern, I thought to myself this is it, it’s perfect.

Industrial lantern

The lantern alone just didn’t seem like enough for this special couple and to celebrate their new home.

Thankfully I had craft supplies on hand and came up with the perfect little extra something something.

Decorative pillow cover sold at hobby lobby

A few moths back I bought around 5 of these decorative pillow covers from Hobby lobby on line

I made one over back a few months ago that I shared on eBay

Painting on burlap with chalky paint

I actually painted half the pillow with chalky paint because I had goofed up something and had to fix it.  I always manage to goof and fix pretty quickly.  It’s called craft recovery:)

DIY burlap house warming pillow gift idea

I had this home stencil for a few years ago.  I had done some fall kitchen burlap art with it and I don’t believe I have used it again since.  How appropriate though for a new home saying…and on a pillow.

Housewarming gift idea

I added a few cute burlap flower embellishments and fortunately even had a pillow insert.

There is no place like home gift pillow

Thrilled with the end result and I hope they enjoy it.

Thanks for stopping in today for another craft recovery event! Always an event with me.

If you are new here, welcome.  I would love to see you back again. There is plenty more to see.

    What a special gift. When something is homemade it has a part of you in it. Those are the gifts that mean the most. I just got a few stencils and can hardly wait to use them. Just beautiful.

    I bet your friends liked the pillow better than the lantern, just because it was something you made. I love how it turned out.

    The pillow is cute and thoughtful, makes me think my friends were cheated. All they got was a hand painted toilet plunger with a note that said I hope they always have a pot to piss in.
