Personalized Front Door Decor


My mom's birthday was this week, so Sissy and I made several items for her, including this cute personalized door hanger.  

The process was very simple, quick, and fun!  We can't wait to make a big Q for our door. 


Supplies:
  • Wooden letter
  • Acrylic paint and brush
  • Decorative glass stones
  • Hot glue gun and glue sticks

Method:

Paint the letter with the acrylic paint.  We painted two coats on the front, back, and sides.  The paint dried very quickly, so we were able to do both coats in less than an hour.



Once the paint is dry, lay the glass stones on the letter to determine placement.  Our letter was small, so it would only hold one row of stones.


Glue the stones onto the letter using a hot glue gun.  Place the stones onto the letter quickly once the glue is on the back, or the glue dries funny and the stone won't sit flush.
 

And you're done!  Easiest craft ever.  



Our letter came with an indent in the back to hang it on a nail, but you could also add a cute ribbon to hang it from.  It might also be a beautiful addition to a wreath.  

Happy summer!
