It's WISE to DIY: Thrify Ideas for the Do-It-Yourselfer

This Piece Of Cardboard Is Under The Window As Step One Of The Sweetest Husband to Wife DIY Ever!!

It was Christmas time and she didn’t have anywhere to hang the stockings.  So her husband took it upon himself to give her a special place right under this window.

He didn’t spend much money.  He used cardboard, spray paint and tape.  But injected a ton of love!

First a mantle…SkxvlyI

Then spray paint…

He used tape to give it the effect of bricks.

When it was fully constructed, he added a garland and lights.  It only cost him $15 but I am sure the effect it had on his wife was priceless!
