I like pretty, and during my search for a new yoga ma, I found pretty. The bad news is that pretty is more expensive than plain (of course). So, while shopping at Target, right after the New Year I found two mats that screamed pretty with twenty dollar price tags. I also found a plain chrome mat for nine dollars. If you know anything about me, I am not plain, so how could I settle for a plain yoga mat? To make the mat my own, I visited my lovely library of fonts and chose the perfect M. I chose to paint the M with a bright green spray paint I had used for a few of my Christmas projects.  Bam! I now have a personalized yoga mat. No girl name Emily is going to mistake it for hers for sure.

Total cost for the project: $9 + materials I already had vs. $20... feels good.

Tip: Shopping right after the New Year for workout gear is ideal. Specials galore!

Bonus Tip: Spray paint and I are still in at the beginning of our friendship and I have now learned that the spray somehow dusts far beyond what one can imagine. My grey mat is now dusted in light green beyond the painters tape. So lesson learned - cover all areas you don't want painted.
