What better way to start decorating then to do something like this beauty?! I was inspired by Dittle Dattle. I just added my own touches. Here she is!
To see a detailed tutorial, go see Dittle Dattle's Blog and she has great step by step instructions. If you want a quick tutorial, here is what I did:
- Found a "G" font on the internet that I liked. Traced it directly from my computer onto a piece of paper.
- My handsome helping hubby drew the letter onto a piece of plywood he had lying around. You can make it any size you would like.
- He cut it out with a jig-saw
- He painted it black using spray paint (may not be necessary). We were unsure if the wood would show through, but it did not.
- I found a tree in our backyard with some good greenery and started snipping away some pieces. Snip quite a few.
- I started one-by-one placing the stems of greenery onto the plywood. It looks better to do them all in one direction. Then use green wire (I got mine at Dollar Tree) or any type of wire and start wrapping the greenery onto the plywood.
- Trim it and shape to your preference
- Add your own decor with hot glue
- Hang her up!
*Hopefully it will last through the end of the season! If you want to keep it for years to come, buy some real greenery that you like.
Gotta get back to decorating!
