DIY ~ Upcycled "Home" Decor


I had these cute letters that spelled the word "home".
I believe I got them at Dollarama.
I wanted to spruce them up a bit, so here is what I did.


WHAT YOU NEED:
acrylic craft paint in 4 colors and black
mini paint brush
medium flat paint brush
mod podge
silver/clear sticky gems

First do a thin black line around the outside of each letter.


Once that is dry, pick a color and start painting swirls all throughout the middle part.


Once those are dry, add your gems wherever you have a space!


Lightly clear coat with a thin layer of mod podge.


Make sure you don't have too much excess mod podge around the gems or it wont dry clear!


Let dry and stand on a mantel, desk, book shelf, wherever!!!


Cheers,
Messy
