Easy DIY Decor for Your Home or Nursery!

I decided to do more hands on crafts for our baby this go around...and now I have a bug that makes me want to paint everything! Here's one that I did a week ago:

What you need:

* A letter to paint. I got mine for $8.99 from JoAnn Fabrics.

It's a Paper Mache 23.5" letter. Yeah. Almost two feet. It's HUGE!

* A base paint. I used Krylon's Oil Rubbed Bronze Spray Paint.

Pick a color to highlight your nursery, match or color coordinate or standout!

* Something to paint on. An old sheet, a drop cloth, newspaper, art paper.

* A nail or two or hook for back of letter. Also, you can lean this on a shelf, or have it self standing

for a wonderful statement piece.

* Another IDEA: grab some scrap-booking paper and trace the letter onto it. Cut it out and paste using Mod Podge & then go over it with Mod Podge to seal!

The first letter of our Baby Boy's name to join us next month!

Spray Paint.

I was going to go over it with a crackle paint, but liked it plain better!

First coat of paint:

[please do this in a well ventilated area or outside or have someone spray it for you]

Letting it DRY!

All DONE! Put it over his crib!

I have a couple more projects left to do. Have any of you done some of your own DIY crafting/decor?

Do Share!!! Leave links to pics if you have any! We'd love to see!
