One of the easiest DIY gift ideas.

When rushing to find a gift for someone when short on cash, this DIY gift idea is a must.

Take a trip to the thrift store, find a decent picture, and ignore the hideous frame it is wrapped in.
The next part is even easier. Once you get the picture home, take some sandpaper and sand the frame down. Use a DIY Antiquing kit (I got mine at Michael's for $9 with a 40% off coupon, and 2 dressers and a billion frames later I am still using it) and antique the frame yourself. The outcome is always adorable and vintage-inspired.

This picture only cost me $.75!
