DIY – Glitter Holiday Letters

Other Charms
Let’s get real here – I’m not very crafty. 100% of me wants to be crafty, but only about 5% of me is.
I make a fair attempt, but when a craft involves more than 5 steps, you can count me out {or at least, watch me destroy it slowly}
 So, when I saw these fun letters {above} at a craft store, I decided to make my own spin off the Pottery Barn ornamanets below ~
{via}
Here are the dummy proof/Maya proof steps – 
1) Cover your cardboard letters with glue. I used some spray clear gloss and it worked surprisingly well!
2) Cover with glitter {and if you’re me, this involves covering your entire kitchen with glitter too}
3) Let is dry and then cover it with clear gloss again – and then dry again
4) Puncture some hold in the top of the letters with a sharp pointy object that’s laying 5 feet away from you – I used a pen since I’m real fancy 🙂
5) Stick ribbon through the hole {with the help of a trusty tweezers}
6) Hang them up for everyone to see how crafty you are!!!

    This is so cute! I'm actually making letters like this for everyone in my family (shhh don't tell). I bought wood letters though, so I've been using acrylic paint and glitter paint which isn't as simple as this! Your letters came out great, I think you underestimate your craftiness 😉

    Such a wonderful idea! Yesterday I told my husband I feel like pouring glitter over everything, which scared him a little. 🙂 I am still tempted to glue it to a few pine cones and plastic toys to decorate the room with. x
