First off, my cousin, Jill is getting married!! We are so excited for her!
As most people these days, our budget is tight. But I wanted to make something that would be useful, yet meaningful to her.
It all started with a trip to Sonic...and their awesome drink carrier! Then a trip to Home Depot to get some Chalkboard Spray paint.
I sprayed it all over, even on the inside... 
Next to the gift part. I got her 4 large glass mugs and I etched a "T" in them for the first letter of their last name. I used my cricut to cut the vinyl letter out and then an oval out of the vinyl using my Creative Memories cutting system. Then I put the etching cream on and let it sit for a minute or so. 
So here it is, all wrapped up! I wrote some messages around the box with chalk and even tied a piece of chalk to the box so that they can write on it too! 
I tied black, white and pink ribbon to the top to make it a little fru-fru. 
Total cost:$9.60 Drink carrier $0 Chalboard Spray Paint $2.50 (bottle was $5 but I only used half) Glass Mugs $4 ($1 each) Ribbon $2 Tissue $1 Chalk $.10 I had the etching cream and vinyl already, so this is not included in the price. Have fun with this project! Let me know if you make one and how it turned out!
