Georgia Southern Phi Mu Ladybug Gift Idea

Any Phi Mu sorority sisters from Georgia Southern?

If so, you will enjoy this post featuring a gift idea with your local mascot, the ladybug.

This is a matted picture of a ladybug with the saying,
"Phi Mu is full of bugs and kisses"

DIRECTIONS: for Phi Mu Ladybug matted picture (hand-drawn and hand-painted)
See picture at top of post.

• You need a basic mat-this one is 5" X 7" with a round opening, but a rectangle will work, too.
• Actually, a pink mat would be prettiest if you can find one.
• Use any kind of art paper or even cardstock.
• With a pencil, lightly draw your ladybug (it will probably turn out better than you expect!)
• If you mess up, just erase and continue until you are happy with the drawing.
• Use water color paints or colored pencils or even crayons to lightly color your drawing.
• Use a fine sharpie pen or a scrapbooking fine felt tip pen to outline your drawing and to add the Phi Mu saying.
• Tape your painting to the back of the mat AND it is ready to give to your big or little sister.

If you are pushed for time, buying directly may be in your best interests.

However, since this blog is devoted to providing ideas for little sister and big sister gifts that you can make yourself, I encourage you to be inspired by ideas from others and get your creative juices flowing. Visit a store that carries scrapbooking supplies or visit a store online and pick up the materials you need. Your creative products will mean more to you than something you buy.

Kappa Delta Handpainted Frog-GA Southern & Newberry

So you want ideas for little sister, big sister gifts?

Start painting.

You can make anything special with a little paint. I painted a frog on the top of this paper mache box. If you stop by any craft store, you will find many items that you can buy, and then custom paint with your mascot such as this frog for Kappa Deltas at Georgia Southern U or Newberry.

Also, painting on a canvas tote is not hard. Acrylic paints are great for painting on fabrics. See the handpainted KD frog totebag or the KD hang pillow.
