Gift for Dads Birthday under $2

A little while back I was in need of a gift for my husband from the the girls so after a quick trip to the dollar store, and then with a few supplies from home we made dad a gift that he is proudly displaying on his desk at work.

We picked up a simple wooden frame and then my daughter went to work painting the frame with her favorite colours.


the little artist at work.
After the paint was dry I took a sharpie added a caption to the bottom of the frame,  and then sprayed a coat of clear spray paint on top of the paint job and then printed a picture of the two girls.


Here is the frame on display in Dads office (I forgot to take an after pic)
