Wedding Season....Mr. & Mrs. Jokisch

About two months ago I started looking at Etsy on what to buy my brother and his new wife for their wedding gift!  I found sooooo many cute ideas and everything I wanted was over $70.00.  I didn't have a lot to spend after buying everything it cost to be in the wedding.  I found something I REALLLLY liked a lot and it was different and unique.

 

The only problem was it was $70.00 with shipping and it wasn't framed. :-(

I decided I could pull it off and make it myself.  I also wanted to add the year they were married on it.

So I went to my favorite store Hobby Lobby and bought burlap, black & white fabric paint, stencils, and a frame I found on the clearance shelf.  The frame was a little more than I wanted to pay but with the last name J O K I S C H...I had to find a long frame.  ;-)

Oh and if you haven't been to Hobby Lobby in the last two weeks you need to go ASAP...They are re-doing aisles and they have put SOOOOO much stuff in the clearance section!  I was in there for 2.5 hours last week with Brody and I would have stayed longer but he was getting tired.  He was so good.  He just sat in the cart with his gold fish and played.  Thanks Brody!

Here is how it turned out...and I can't take all the credit.  Josh helped me out measuring it all out and making sure it sit just perfect in the frame.  He was getting frustrated and I think he was so happy to see me finish it and give it to them! haha 

Here it is.....

 

I was very happy with the way it turned out and I won't say what I paid for it but it was not even close to half of what I would have paid on Etsy.  

I hope you like!!!  If you have any questions on how I made it please ask!  It's pretty easy!!

XOXOXO,

Bri
