Tell Them You Love and Appreciate Them with a
Personalized Memories Photo Tray
Romans 12:10: Be devoted to one another in brotherly love and honor one another above yourselves.
Do you know someone special who needs to be reminded just how loved and appreciated they are? If you do, we have a special gift idea for you! It's the perfect gift for anytime of the year, or any occasion. It's all about showing love and appreciation whenever it's needed!
It's a personalized memories photo tray that they will cherish for years to come! They can hang it on a wall, or display it on a table or shelf. Everytime they look at their personalized photo memory tray, their heart will be filled with love and sweet memories of happy, hope filled days! Now that's a gift that keeps on giving and encouraging each and every day!
So, where do you start?
1) Purchase a memories photo tray from Living Water Home Spa Shop.
2) Spend time searching through pictures of places, events or people that are special to your gift recipient. (i.e. pictures of the birth of their baby, a special event, a day in the park, time at the beach, you and your friend laughing, or find photos of places they would like to go from a magazine, postcard, a greeting card, etc.) You will need two or three photos sized to 4" x 6".
3) Find scriptures, a quote, song lyrics, or a special saying that will be meaningful to your gift recipient. You will need one or two depending on the number of photos you selected. Each should be trimmed to 4" x 6". The total number of 4 x 6" (pictures and verses) needed is four.
4) Arrange the photos and verses under the glass of the tray. Then, rearrange the items as needed until you have perfectly placed each item in the tray and replace the glass.
5) If you feel adventurous, and have clear wood glue and decopague glue that will adhere well to the surface of the tray, select pebbles, shells, buttons, jewelry, charms, stickers, or small pictures from cards or magazines, etc. to glue to the surface of the tray.
6) Once you have collected all the items you want to add to outside of the tray, place the items on the tray (without gluing) and rearrange the items until they are perfectly placed on the tray.
7) Then add glue to each item (one at a time) and adhere to the tray one by one. Make sure the item is secure to the tray before adding the next item. When all items are glued or adhered to the tray, place the tray in a safe place to let glue dry completely.
8) If you wish to protect items added to the tray, you can cover them in clear drying decoupage glue or other surface sealant that will dry clear and is compatible with the item(s) to be covered. Place the tray in a safe place to dry. Let the tray and items dry completely before moving or gift wrapping.
9) To further dress up your memories photo tray for gift giving, select a small gift card and personalize the card with a love filled note. Then, punch a hole in one corner of the card. Select a piece of ribbon that compliments the finished tray color/style and place one end of the ribbon through the punched hole in the card. Lastly, tie the ribbon to one of the twin arched handles on the tray in the correct orientation to the front of the tray.
10) Place the complete tray with card in a gift bag and add colorful tissue paper! Or, serve your loved one iced tea, coffee or a treat on the tray and surprise them as they remove their treats from the tray.
Giving a Personalized Memories Photo Tray is a fun way to show anyone your love and appreciation! Reach out to someone you love and appreciate today with a personalized memories photo tray.
