Creative and inexpensive DIY cotton gifts ideas for second wedding anniversary
1. His and hers pillowcases
Buy two plain cotton pillowcases (make sure it’s a lighter color like white, cream, or pastel).
With fabric markers (available at any craft store) write “His/Hers” on one and “Hers/His” on the other – fancy script, curly-cue letters, or add hearts or other drawings to make extra adorable.
2. Kitchen towels
You can try the same idea with kitchen towels, though they’ll have to be the thinner kind, like tea towels, for the fabric markers to work.
Write something cute like, “You wash” on one and “I’ll dry” on the other. These towels are a functional celebration of real life together.
3. T-shirt quilt
Most of us have been collecting old t-shirts for a couple decades now.
Clear a few of them out of the drawer by making them into a warm, cozy quilt. Yes, you’ll need a sewing machine.
Check out this one made with a sewing machine. There are also lots of websites that will give you step by step instructions.
4. Framed cotton heart
Make a cute piece of artwork with actual cotton.
Stretch a cotton ball (or cotton lace, or pretty cotton fabric) over a heart-shaped piece of cardboard or cardstock and glue it down tight.
Then glue your heart onto a blank 5×7 card (choose a nice contrasting color). Frame and hang!
5. Knit!
We can’t leave out the best DIY gift-making skill of all: knitting!
If you have the ability (and if you don’t there are lots of ways to learn), use cotton yarn to knit all kinds of awesomeness like socks, hats, sweaters, pot holders, and whatever your imagination and fingers can create.
