Paper Art

In need of a thank you gift, low on money and feeling creative...I decided to make a homemade present for a friend who likes owls.  I bought a mini canvass from Hobby Lobby ($3.00) painted it black, cut myself a very simple little owl, tree and hearts from some scrap paper I had lying around, glued them to the dried canvas with a hot glue gun and finished with some simple dots using gold puff paint from my classroom.  Voila, an extremely cheap gift and my friend loved it.  The whole thing took about a whole twenty minutes to create and cost me almost nothing but some time and creativity.
