Today I thought that I would go back and share one of my favorite Christmas DIY projects. This one I completed in 2013 and it involved my boys bouncy ball. |
I needed to spread the glue onto the chipboard letters with a foam brush. Ya gotta work quickly because the glue dries pretty fast. |
Next I sprinkled...poured...the glitter on each letter. Do this over a piece of paper because you can then easily pour the unused glitter back in to the bottle. |
Next up was to spray the bouncy ball to make it look like a gazing ball. Be sure to use a primer for plastic first. I did not and so the ball remained sticky. |
I was getting really excited after I sprayed the ball. It was looking really pretty. |
Next up I needed to make something for the chipboard "Ho Ho Ho". I had some old fence boards out in the garage as well as some scrap wood. |
The scrap strips were just the right length so no cutting needed. |
After I attached the boards with screws I dug thru my stock pile of paints and found some white to dry brush on. |
Here is how it the sign came together. |
I attached it with some hot glue. It WAS exactly what the bouncy/gazing ball needed. |
I really liked how this vignette turned out and now I am thinking I may just have to make another one for the porch this year at the new house! |
What a fantastic and easy (my favorite) project/DIY
