I remember doing crafty things with my Grandma and my Mom so I hope my kids will also cherish times together getting crafty. Now as an adult, I still love doing crafty things and this love of getting crafty is being past down to my kids, hopefully.
I am also a crafty things collector. I have numerous things in plastic containers, all labeled… now if I could only get that organized in other areas of my home. 😉
This is a simple tutorial of how to DIY for letter artwork that can represent your last name or individual’s names in your family. My two older kids and I made this for London, the youngest child.
DIY Letter Artwork
What you need:
- a letter, large enough to hang (could be cut from card board or wooden, etc.)
- tacky glue
- acrylic paint, color of your choice
- sponge paint brush
- buttons or some other crafty items
- pop can tab
What to do:
- Gather art supplies, I got the letter and buttons from Hobby Lobby
- Paint the letter with acrylic paint, let it dry
- Glue buttons on with tacky paint, let it dry
- On the back of the letter, glue on the pop can tab to use as the nail hanger
- Hang up in room
This is such a simple, easy idea to make with your kids. With the Holidays approaching, it could even be a nice, thoughtful gift.
