For my birthday my husband is letting me create a cozy corner in the office. I figured I would start working on wall art since I don't get my cozy present until my birthday in October (come on September get out of here! I want my cozy stuff!). I have lots of ideas for decorating and many projects started. So here is a simple fast DIY that has a great finish. I got the idea from here...
I got all this at Hobby Lobby for around $10
I used most of it but I have lots of left overs for other projects. This is what I needed:
- Two letters
- Two scrapbook paper (wood style)
- Wall fasteners
- Wall wire to go between the fasteners
- Spare parts screw head brads
- Gray paint (I ended up not using it) so scratch that from the buying list, or you can use it... it's up to you
- Glue gun & rubber cement
- I traced around the letters and cut the shapes out of the scrapbook paper.
- Glue the paper on the letter.
- I then tried the paint around the edges (on the back of the letters), but I don't know if I just didn't have the right shade but it wasn't flying with me well so I dropped the paint.
- With wire cutters I cut the brads back off and hot glued them on the letters.
- Not a super necessary step: I wanted to hang the letters. So I glued the hooks on the back and looped the wire between the hooks for hanging.
Voila!! Super easy and cute!
