My aunt and uncle recently celebrated their 25<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">th<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> wedding anniversary with a lovely garden party. They\u2019re a traditional couple, so I wanted to honor their big milestone in a classic way. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A 25-year anniversary calls for gifts of silver. This tradition began in the Germanic region of Europe when husbands would give their wives garlands of silver after 25 years of marriage. The silver represented the harmony that the couple shared after being united for a quarter of a century. It\u2019s also traditional for couples to take special vacations or renew their wedding vows at the 25-year mark\u2014 it strikes me as a time for romance and appreciating one another. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In the spirit of this beautiful tradition, I wanted to give my aunt and uncle something they could use to celebrate their love, not just for one night, but for the rest of their many years together. So I came up with three DIY, romance-themed anniversary gifts that stay true to the silver-inspired traditions, without breaking the bank. <\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4>Silver-Painted Wine Glasses<\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Wine glasses offer a special kind of duality. Not only is wine commonly associated with romance, but it\u2019s also a symbol of celebration. With that in mind, I wanted my aunt and uncle to be able to toast to their long lives together with a glass of wine from their silver anniversary wine glasses.<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_6547\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-6547\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"http:\/\/blog.elfster.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/Image-2-2.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-6547 size-medium\" src=\"http:\/\/blog.elfster.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/Image-2-2-300x300.jpeg\" alt=\"silver wine glasses\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.elfster.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/Image-2-2-300x300.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/www.elfster.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/Image-2-2-150x150.jpeg 150w, https:\/\/www.elfster.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/Image-2-2-270x270.jpeg 270w, https:\/\/www.elfster.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/Image-2-2.jpeg 570w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-6547\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Toast to a long and happy life together | Image courtesy of Etsy user <a href=\"https:\/\/www.etsy.com\/listing\/449338212\/mr-and-mrs-pearl-white-and-silver?ga_order=most_relevant&amp;ga_search_type=all&amp;ga_view_type=gallery&amp;ga_search_query=personalized%20wine%20glasses%20silver&amp;ref=sr_gallery_9&amp;source=aw&amp;awc=6220_1481928320_5168c29e58cf192299e707a8f0264fcc&amp;utm_source=affiliate_window&amp;utm_medium=affiliate&amp;utm_campaign=us_location_buyer&amp;utm_content=256677\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">InaSpinNiquesWay<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><b>The Materials:<\/b><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Two clear wine glasses<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Rubbing alcohol<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Painter\u2019s tape or masking tape<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Heat-dry enamel paint in silver and any other accent colors you wish to add<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00bd-inch paint brush for the base coat<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Fine detail paint brush<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><b>The How-To:<\/b><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Start by washing the wine glasses with soap and water. Dry thoroughly.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Using a paper towel, wipe each wine glass down completely with rubbing alcohol. This will remove any fingerprints, soap film, or other tiny details that could ruin your paint job. Let the wine glasses air dry for 5 to 10 minutes.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Place a strip of masking tape around the rim of the wine glass so at least one inch of the glass is covered. This will be the area that stays free of paint and be safe to drink from. Also cover the stem of the glass (or anywhere else you don\u2019t want paint).<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Start by applying the base layer of silver paint. This will be the background for any details, lettering, or designs you want to add later. Let the base coat dry for 15 to 30 minutes before adding the next layer. If you need to make corrections, use nail polish remover to remove the paint before it dries. <\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With the base coat done, add painted details to the glass. You can write the couple\u2019s names and anniversary date, intertwine their initials, draw a whimsical heart and arrow, or add abstract patterns. For fine details and thin lines, use a toothpick dipped in paint. Add dots with a toothpick or the handle of your paintbrush. <\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Once your design is complete, let the wine glasses air dry for 24 hours. <\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To make sure the paint is safe to wash, you\u2019ll need to heat set it. Flip the wine glasses upside down on a cookie sheet and put them in the oven. Turn the oven to 350 degrees F and let the glasses slowly warm as the oven reaches temperature. This allows the glass to adjust gradually and prevents breaking.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Once the oven reaches 350 degrees, set a timer for 20 minutes. After 20 minutes, turn off the oven, but leave the glasses inside. Let them cool in the warm oven for another 10 minutes so they don\u2019t crack when you take them out. <\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Now your painted wine glasses are ready to be used, washed, and cherished for years to come!<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4>A Cozy, Romantic Throw for Cuddling<\/h4>\n<figure id=\"attachment_6548\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-6548\" style=\"width: 199px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a href=\"http:\/\/blog.elfster.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/Image-3-1.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-6548\" src=\"http:\/\/blog.elfster.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/Image-3-1-263x300.jpeg\" alt=\"cozy throw blanket\" width=\"199\" height=\"227\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.elfster.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/Image-3-1-263x300.jpeg 263w, https:\/\/www.elfster.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/Image-3-1-237x270.jpeg 237w, https:\/\/www.elfster.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/Image-3-1.jpeg 570w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 199px) 100vw, 199px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-6548\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Image courtesy of Etsy user <a href=\"https:\/\/www.etsy.com\/listing\/478637789\/personalized-faux-lambs-wool-and-suede?ga_order=most_relevant&amp;ga_search_type=all&amp;ga_view_type=gallery&amp;ga_search_query=personalized%20throw%20blanket%20anniversary&amp;ref=sr_gallery_46&amp;source=aw&amp;awc=6220_1481928435_2dd11bb25462f0d3076fe685ef0a4d91&amp;utm_source=affiliate_window&amp;utm_medium=affiliate&amp;utm_campaign=us_location_buyer&amp;utm_content=256677\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">KeyLimeOnline<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">After 25 years, a spouse is more than just a partner\u2014they become a source of comfort and strength. I wanted my aunt and uncle to remember that they\u2019re so good together because they take the time to care for one another, so I gave them something they can use to keep warm during their long, soul-healing cuddles on the couch: a personalized throw blanket. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The hardest part was deciding how to customize their gift. I could have included their names and anniversary date, their initials, or even a special quote. In the end, I decided to embellish a little bit to emphasize the 25-year landmark. I found some <\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/a.co\/8TyUwir\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">silver stitching thread<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and I added a border around a <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">large fleece throw<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> that would match their home d\u00e9cor. Then I used a fine felt tip marker and drew \u201cSteve and Barbara\u201d and \u201c25 Years of Comfort\u201d in one corner. Finally, I <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/G5y-mg0Hh7E\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">embroidered the blanket<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> by tracing the ink to create a hand-sewn, personalized tribute to their union. <\/span><\/p>\n<h4>Sparkling Silver Candles<\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I can just picture it. Two love birds, wrapped up in a personalized blanket, toasting each other with hand painted wine glasses. The only thing that\u2019s missing from the romantic picture is a set of candles to illuminate the moment. I decided to transform a set of twelve short white tapers into silver ones. Now, instead of worrying about burning down one cherished candle, the couple has a whole set to use for many romantic nights ahead.<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_6550\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-6550\" style=\"width: 294px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"http:\/\/blog.elfster.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/Image-5-2.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-6550\" src=\"http:\/\/blog.elfster.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/Image-5-2-200x300.jpeg\" alt=\"silver tapers\" width=\"294\" height=\"441\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.elfster.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/Image-5-2-200x300.jpeg 200w, https:\/\/www.elfster.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/Image-5-2-180x270.jpeg 180w, https:\/\/www.elfster.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/Image-5-2.jpeg 570w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 294px) 100vw, 294px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-6550\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Silver candles pay tribute to the silver anniversary | Image courtesy of Etsy user <a href=\"https:\/\/www.etsy.com\/listing\/215874706\/silver-tapered-candles-new-year-silver?ga_order=most_relevant&amp;ga_search_type=all&amp;ga_view_type=gallery&amp;ga_search_query=silver%20candles&amp;ref=sr_gallery_29&amp;source=aw&amp;awc=6220_1481928485_909ebf3cb53e2bf3be7d6baccdb0aff7&amp;utm_source=affiliate_window&amp;utm_medium=affiliate&amp;utm_campaign=us_location_buyer&amp;utm_content=256677\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">HellNotesforBeauty<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><b>The Materials:<\/b><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A large double boiler or <\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/a.co\/2ppXLPp\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">wax pitcher<\/span><\/a><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">2 lbs of paraffin wax<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Silver metallic pigment dye<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">White candles (I recommend pillar or small taper candles)<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Wax paper<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><b>The How-To:<\/b><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Fill the bottom of your double boiler two-thirds full with water.

I was inspired to see them look just as in love as they must have when they first started out on this long journey together. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In a world filled with so many uncertainties, it\u2019s important to take the time to show your appreciation for the things you can count on.
