If you’re still looking for a last minute gift for your special someone; this is an awesome, quick, and easy DIY project. I made this a couple years ago and we still have it proudly hanging in our dining room. It’s a fun conversation starter too, people are always trying to figure out where the famous couples are from

1. First step, do a little research. Start with your significant other’s favorite books, movies, or video games. Then find out the names of the couples in the book, movie, or videogame. Make sure to include characters that are special to you as a couple! Pick about 12-15 or more, you might not use them all, but it’s better to have extra than not enough. Google will help with this, but be careful or you might make a silly mistake and find a couple that never actually existed. So make sure you can confirm that it’s a real couple and not something someone came up with in fanfiction or something (if you don’t know what fanfiction is you can thank your lucky stars haha). I did this project a couple years ago at 3 AM on a night where I had a little bit of insomnia, so one of the couples on this list is wrong, but I kept it the way it is (mostly because I’m lazy).2. Open the program you want to use. At the time I used word, but you could use Photoshop or another program if you wanted, it might be easier.
3. Figure out the color scheme and font you want to use. I used grey and green, grey to match the silver frame I was using and green because our plan was to paint our living room green (still hasn’t happened 3 years later). The font I used was Rockwell Extra Bold, I just liked how chunky the font was.
4. Add your couples! I tried to organize it so short names weren’t next to long names so it would add some variety. You also want to prioritize so you use the couples that are most important first, chances are all the names you came up with won’t fit.
