Raise your hand if you love pinterest? Dumb question, right? I've been so inspired by projects I've seen on there and this is my latest creation. The original idea is from Pottery Barn and their version is made from forged metal, so this is not the same at all. But that's the beauty of it all, one idea spawns another and we create something beautiful to us with our own stamp on it.
I followed the directions found here, but found that hot glue didn't hold and Cale ended up screwing the letters together. Much sturdier! MDF letters from Michael's painted in umber and crimson and they really look like stained wood. My house does not have good lighting at all so these pictures stink, but you get the idea! I wanted to show what it looks like on the wall but since its gray and dreary my already dark living room is really dark! I love how it turned out and it cost me about $12 and an hour of time. A great, easy project with big payout- these look great in my living room. That's my kind of crafting!

Turned out so awesome! Love!
I saw that on your wall yesterday and thought...I've seen that before...where have I seen that before? I thought maybe it was from last year. Great re-do!
Okay, I just might have to be a copy cat, b/c maybe this a craft that this non-crafter can actually do! You could easily do other Christmas-y words. They would make great gifts as well! I love it!
This turned out just beautifully! Great job!
