Door Decorations

Hi everyone! 

This weekend I was feeling particularly crafty and I decided to make door decorations for my roommate and I! 


What you need:
Collegiate Letters (wood) - $4.99 each
Acrylic paint ( I used pink, purple, yellow, white, and green) - $.34 each
Mod Podge Chevron stencil - $3.99
Black Sponge Paint brushes - $.07 each

Wooden animals and Mod Podge (optional)
Wooden crown (optional)

How to do it:

I started by painting the G, T, and crown with a coat of white acrylic paint. After a few minutes they were dry and I painted each their base color.

I painted the G pink, the T purple, and the crown yellow. They dried in a few minutes and they I began to stencil on the chevron.

Once I finished stenciling the G and the T, I painted pink and purple details on to the crown.

And to finish it off, I used Mod Podge to add the Elephant and the Cat to the letter because those are my roommate and I's favorite animals!

All together this craft cost $20 and took about 30, maybe 40, minutes. My roommate and I enjoy these so much! I hope y'all do too!

Happy Crafting!
