DIY : 52 things i love about you.

Ok first of all, total credit to this blog!
I just thought i'd do my own tutorial and give you some added tips for this project. 
It's super easy and hopefully my dear husband doesn't see this before father's day. hehe.

{Finished project above ^}

You will need:

-Deck of Cards: I was going to go the cheap route and get some from the Dollar Store, but for longer lasting better quality, I went with Bicycle.
-Hole puncher: Make sure you have a good one! Knowing me, I'm pretty sure I own the cheapest hole puncher so I had to press and twist to get my holes.  {It just took longer.}
-Glue: she used Mod Podge but I decided to use my trusty pink glue gun. :)
-Rings: I found my book rings at walmart.  I couldn't find a package with just one set
-Sharpie:whatever color you choose.
-About 2 sheets of cardstock.
-I didn't print mine out like she did. I just wrote them {mainly because we were out of ink}
-Scissors









Step 1: Punch holes in deck. Refer to the supplies list for additional assistance.
Step 2: Cut out enough paper strips that will fit on the cards. {if you're printing, go ahead and do that before cuttin the pieces.}
Step 3: Glue the papers onto the cards
Step 4: Insert rings and VOILA!

Cost Breakdown:
Deck of cards: $2.88
Rings: $1.87
Paper: $1.24
Glue: I used some I have at home.
Sharpie: Same thing, already had it!

Total: $6.29

Sucha  great, thoughtful, cheap gift!
Enjoy :)
