I saw these letter ornaments on Pinterest the other day and decided I would give them a go to send off to my family. I of course changed them up, because I can’t leave well enough alone….
What you'll need:
- Wooden Letters
- A Drill (and if you're me, someone to drill the hole for you! Thanks Earl!)
- Spray Paint
- White acrylic Paint
- Paint brushes (1 fine tip, one medium)
- Newspaper for spraying and to catch the drips
- Yarn or ribbon to hang them from
Spray your letters and let them dry completely (on both sides)
Then it's a matter of painting what you want on them. I went with a snow and snowflake design on the front.
This was the point at which I decided I wanted to make more ornaments.... but I didn't really have a reason. So I texted and emailed a few friends with an idea I had for an ornament exchange! I'm super excited about it.... but you won't hear about it again until next year, when the exchange is actually going to happen.
and then I did a Candy Cane Stripe on the back.
Once they're totally dry, thread the yarn/ribbon through and you have adorable new ornaments!
I love how these look. They seem so simple to make, but they're so cute!
ReplyDeleteIncluding you I now have 3 people that are part of my ornament exchange next year :) Thanks for telling me about it!
I only wish I'd thought of it in time to do one this year! I have 8 people on my list. 9 if I can get Birdy on there too ;)
DeleteI totally need to get some dolls in aerobics gear to make ornaments out of for you two :P (And now that I've written that, I think it might be too creepy to actually do.)
