JOY Letters

in Christmas, Christmas decor, DIY, DIY/Crafts on 12/11/14

I’d have to say the Christmas decorating bug has hit me already. 馃檪 A few years back I made a DIY Beaded tree and I loved it so much I decided to make some JOY Letters with beaded embellishment. I love how they turned out! I’ve had a “white gold” Christmas decor theme going on for the past 7 years (yep, I probably need to change but I love it.) These soft cream pearls are the perfect addition to my decor.

Here are the supplies you’ll need:

  • pearl bead garland (found at hobby lobby) (I used 2 strands)
  • wood cutout letters
  • metallic gold paint
  • cream paint
  • sponge paint brush
  • hot glue gun and sticks
  • scissors

First off you’ll want to prep your letters by painting them. I used a sponge brush and painted the “J” & “Y” in a metallic gold paint. For the “O” I used a soft cream paint similar to the color of the pearl garland so it would blend together more seamlessly.

After your paint is sufficiently dried, you can start to embellish with the pearl garland by wrapping it around the letters and securing with hot glue at the ends and on the back to keep the pearls in place.

When you have it wrapped around several times to your liking on the J and Y you can finish off with hot glue. For the “o” you’ll start on one edge and wrap around the entire letters. Take your time and tack down the pearls on the backside to keep them in place as your working around the letter.

And that’s it! Pretty simple but the end result is lovely.

    This is a great project!! But can we just talk about your styling for a minute too?! Awesome!! Do you shoot in front of a wall that you painted with chalkboard paint, or is it something else? It’s so perfect with the text you layer on. Top notch. I know I’ve already begged you to link up those pinecones with the Found & Foraged party, and I do so hope you’ll join us!! It’s Saturdays at 8 pm at http://www.averystreetdesign.com. xo!!

    I can see why you have kept up with the ‘white/gold’ pallet for Christmas. It has a classic and lovely look, as does your ‘JOY’ letters. So pretty!
    Thanks for the inspiration,
