Hi! I'm a total Pinterest addict! I love everything from DIY, recipes, crafts, etc. I also co-lead crafts for our Moms group (like MOPS). My friend Stacy and I love to come up with fun crafts and Pinterest has made it much easier to get ideas from. I had pinned this and we thought it would be perfect for our next craft day. It didn't have a tutorial so I came up with my own and want to share it with you!
Things you will need:
A 13 inch mdf or wooden letter
burlap
muslin or linen
acrylic paint
floral berries, flowers, buttons for embellishment
hot glue
sandpaper
Most of our items were purchased at Hobby Lobby (♥ that store)!
Take your Letter and paint the front and sides. I used acrylic paint.
Next, you need to figure out how you want to hang it. Some letters are easier than others :) Having a last name with a "J" was a little tricky but I think it turned out nice. Some letters you can simply wrap the burlap around the top.
I folded a piece of burlap and hot glued the ends on the back of my letter. Then I took a piece of muslin and put it through the loop on top.
Then came the fun part, embellishing!
I made a simple bow (just tied a knot) with a wide stripe of burlap and then hot glued it to the burlap attached to my letter.
Next, I hot glued some floral berries to the burlap and made sure that my rosettes would cover the bottom of them.
Then I made rosettes and hot glued them on.
I sanded the edges to get a distressed look and then added a few more rosettes to the bottom of the J also.
Here's the finished craft!
