Hey guys!
Today I'm going to show you how to do this quick and easy wall decor DIY!
- First off you're going to need wooden letters (I got these from AC Moore), paint, paint brushes, glitter (optional of course), and hairspray (also optional).
- Next you are going to want to figure out what design you want on your letters. For mine, I tried to create an ombre effect starting with the darkest color at the top and gradually getting lighter towards the bottom. Since my room is purple and gold, I decided to use purple for the base color and use gold paint as the accent color for the designs.
- After you figure out how you would like your letters designed, go ahead and start painting the base color for your letters. Since I did an ombre effect I started painting the darkest color then kept adding white paint to make the purple paint lighter.
- When you are done painting the base color, make sure to wait a few hours before painting the design on, unless you are going to use glitter. If you are using glitter make sure the paint is a little tacky when you pour the glitter on, meaning it's not too wet but not too dry either. After you pour the glitter on, make sure you seal it with something so the glitter doesn't fall off. I used regular aerosol hairspray.
- Once your letters are dry, go ahead and start paint the design you would like with your accent color.
- After you're done painting, make sure you set your letters somewhere to dry overnight.
- Now you're finally done! The last step is display your letters! I put mine on my bedroom wall and secured them with command strips, I put 3-4 on each one.
It's that simple! Keep checking back for more fun things!
