So as I have been getting things ready and prepared for college I felt like actually doing one of those cute Pinterest crafts that you see all the time.
So here it is... My DIY BDazzeled Letters!
What you will needs is the following:
- Wooden letters (any size or shape, doesn't matter!)
- Painters or scotch tape
- Acrylic paints
- Ribbon
- Paint brushes
- A hot glue gun and extra glue sticks
- Any gems or stones that you like!
Now lets get down to business...
- First you will want to cover a space in cardboard, Newspaper, or whatever you have so that you don't get paint all of you!
- Then once you have your own personal space, start laying the tape down in a chevron pattern, like shown above
Now time to break out the paints!
- Open selected bottle of acrylic paint and begin painting all over letter
- Set to dry
- Once dry, remove tape and see the lovely chevron pattern you have created!
Now I don't know about you, but this was one of my first times using a hot glue gun, but I considered it the best part!
- Break out the gems and hot glue gun, it's time to make it sparkle!!
- Simply glue pieces down to the letter like below:
Almost done!
-I decided to add a final touch by gluing ribbon to the back so it can hang easily in my dorm with command hooks!
TADAAAA!
You've got yourself some sparkly letters!
"Never let anybody dull your sparkle"
