I am certain I am not the only one who has been seeing this old 90’s style
swinging back into trend!!
I remember seeing “JOY” on Monica’s Tree on the show
Friends & thought it was the cutest thing ever – When I started seeing it
in advertisements leading up to the Holiday I knew I just had to try it! Such a simple & inexpensive way to add create a big impact on your tree, and is certainly something you could
easily switch out & update annually!
Supplies:
- A Hole punch / Hot Glue Gun
- Decorative string
- Card Stock Paper
- Glitter
- Craft Glue
- Paint brush
- Stencil OR Create your own.
OR
NOTE: I created Mine using left over card stock & gold glitter – you could Simplify this even FURHTER by using Glitter Paper – which you can find at any Craft or Dollar store – usually less than $1.00 a sheet!
How To:
Before you do ANYTHING you will have to choose your word/phrase.
If you do not have alphabetical stencils the appropriate size – my letter are about 3 x 6 INCHES but you may want to adjust the sizing depending on your tree size – you will have to create/draw your own or PRINT them off the computer.
I only needed to create 3 stencils to create my phrase - so drew mine by hand using Graph paper as a guide. See Images below.
You will then need to trace & cut out the appropriate number of each letter on either your card stock or Glitter paper to create your phrase!
EXAMPLE: Fa La La La La La La
If like me, and you chose to use cardstock – you will
want to add the Glitter at this point.
EXAMPLE: Fa La La La La La La
1 x F
6 x L
7 x a
Using a Paint Brush – apply a liberal about of glue & sprinkle with glitter. Let set to dry – shake of any excess back into the bottle/ jar.
Punch a hole using your Hole punch and loop through the holes OR Attach the string to the back of each letter using Hot Glue. & Display!
