Gifts for the Girly Girl

#1) Monogrammed Coolers 

The blog, Being Mrs. Cullins, featured these gorgeous, monogrammed coolers in a giveaway. I love the idea of purchasing an item and personalizing it.   If you read Simply Sarah Style, then you know this is something I do often with my Cricut machine and vinyl.  You can find coolers for a reasonable price at places like Target and Wal-Mart. Then just use vinyl to personalize them. If you don't have Cricut to cut your own vinyl, many craft stores now offer precut vinyl letters and shapes. I especially like the font choice on these items.  It is super girly and sophisticated. 

Supplies:

• Cooler
• Cutting Machine (Cricut)
• Vinyl

#2) Framed Burlap Earring Holder 

Positively Splendid provided a tutorial on how to create this gorgeous earring holder.  This is stunning!  There is no reason to hide this in the closet.  This would look great on a dresser or evening on a bedroom wall. Click here for the full tutorial.

Supplies:

• Picture frame 
• Burlap
• Spray Starch
• Stencil
• Acrylic Paint
• Paint Brush
• Embellishments (flower, rhinestones, broaches, etc.)
• Glue Gun

#3) Bedazzled Clipboards

Aren't these gorgeous! On her blog, Teresa Collins tells how embellish clip boards using rhinestones or broken jewelry.  Click here for a full tutorial. 

Supplies: 

• Clip Board

#4) Initial Wreath

My friend Sarah at This Crazy, Blessed Life created this wreath for her sister-in-law and I fell in love.  It was on my to-do list all summer.  With her tutorial, the possibilities are endless. You can choose a holiday color scheme or something more along the lines of the bold colors below for long-lasting decor. 

Supplies:

• Wreath Form
• Fabric
• Cardboard
• Glue Gun
