Go beyond the typical
restaurant gift certificates, clothing items or sporting equipment often given
to boyfriends as birthday presents. Express your creativity as well as your love
for your significant other by looking into making a meaningful gift with craft
supplies and straightforward techniques. Design a project that reflects time
you've spent together as well as your appreciation for his favorites and
interests.
Graffiti Frame
Design an image frame embellished with personal messages for boyfriend can use to display a popular photo of you. Buy a wide wood frame made to hold a 5-by-7-inch picture in a craft or framing store. Use paint pens to doodle and write song lyrics, nicknames or inside jokes around the wood portion of the frame. If desired, seal the artwork having a coat of decoupage medium sold at scrap booking or craft shops. Enclose an image in the frame or make use of the birthday craft to hold one more gift, such as a pair of concert or baseball game tickets stashed underneath the glass.
Refrigerator Magnets
Create a handmade gift that your boyfriend may use to display "to do" lists, reminders about upcoming special attractions or pictures of the two individuals on a refrigerator or magnetic bulletin board. Design pebble-style refrigerator magnets by purchasing 1- to 2-inch-wide, flat-bottomed glass pebbles in a craft store.
Trim snippets from pictures or memorabilia for example ticket stubs to movies you saw together or brochures from the recent sightseeing expedition so they're exactly the same size as the bottom from the clear pebbles. Place a dab of clear epoxy sold at craft stores at the base of a pebble and press it onto among the picture or paper tidbits, pushing until you've removed all the air bubbles. Let the epoxy dry, after which affix a flat magnet towards the back of the pebble with adhesive dots.
Personalized Calendar
Design a meaningful boyfriend gift he is able to use to keep track of upcoming appointments, vacations, birthdays and anniversaries. Purchase a full-sized, blank calendar at a scrapbooking, craft or stationery store. Make use of the top half of each calendar page to produce a scrapbook-style collage featuring photos of these two of you, memorabilia from dates, anniversaries or vacations and handwritten messages, inspirational quotes or love notes. Complete the names of important dates around the calendar portion of the project.
Hobby Scrapbook
Provide your boyfriend a place to keep photographs and memorabilia from his favorite pastimes by developing a simple scrapbook for him. Purchase a spiral-bound scrapbook album at a scrapbook or craft store and embellish the web pages with patterned paper, stickers and die cuts that fit his hobby. Create blank card stock photo mats on each page where he is able to easily affix 4-by-6-inch images. Also leave empty spots around the page where he can write captions to explain the events depicted within the photos.
