This is one of those easy projects I was working on during the week, trying to find inexpensive items to decorate my house for the holidays.
I have this big wall space in the family room, that for a long time has had the same art, three canvasses I painted and then hung them to fill in that space (they didn't even fill that big space quite well!), but for the holidays I wanted something more "Christmas-ish" there.
So they got dressed up! Using fabric remnants, they got covered, at first using simple pieces of tape on the back of them, to keep the fabric in place, then using a regular stapler (the one you use to staple pieces of paper), worked great too. I was trying not to damage the prints in case I want to use them again.
That blue fabric is what was left from the circles pillow I made for my daughter's room.
I knew I wanted it to have a Christmas related word displayed on that wall, something like Noel, Joy or Peace, but after I found out I had to come up with a six letter word I couldn't find it! So... Time to ask the experts, my kids! Sure enough, my daughter came up immediately with the Ho Ho Ho!
The letters were cut out from felt material, and I liked that they were pretty easy letter shapes. The other fun thing is that I didn't have to glue them on. The felt on top of the other fabrics stays put!
Now, you have to help me on this one: What six letter word should I display after the holidays? Because those boards are going to stay right there for more than one month!
What a great idea, Cristina. I really think they look fantastic. :)
ReplyDeleteThat's so creative Cristina! And it looks great. I love that the felt letters stick without any glue or tape. Very do-able.
ReplyDeleteWhat a cute project! Looks great on your wall!

That is a great project, and looks wonderful on your wall.
ReplyDeleteSuch a great idea! It looks very festive and cute. I love the idea of switching it out with the seasons. All I can think of at the moment is "winter" for after Christmas is over but up until spring!
ReplyDeleteI love these! So fun and graphic! hmmm 6 letters...
ReplyDeleteSo much fun and so colorful. Great project.
ReplyDeleteWhat a simple and wonderful idea, it changes the room completely!
ReplyDeletete quedo divina la pared asi!!! me encanta!!!
ReplyDeleteWonderful idea. I love the color choices...that blue just pops!
ReplyDeleteHi Cristina, nice to meet you. I came from Ruth's blog to visit. Love the color and it does change the room. Nice going. Happy Holidays.
ReplyDeletemy first Christmas in US, I was staying with a family during school break...I greeted every guest that came in the door with "HA HA HA"...I thought that's what Santa said...I made quite an impression on EVERYONE :)
ReplyDeleteI love this and storing in mind for future use! Just scanned a list of over 1600 six letter words...warmth, lovely (as mentioned above)...good luck with this! Can't wait to see what you come up with.
ReplyDeleteCristina amiga mÃa te hago el siguiente comentario ya que desde antes de ayer blogger cambio la forma en que se despliegan las imágenes en el iPad. Cambio que lo encontré nefasto ya que yo antes cuando visitaba blogs me cargaban estos que tienen esta forma de despliegue y los abandonaba inmediatamente. Y eso le pasa a mucha gente anónima que vista los blogs. Ahora además extrañamente ( no entiendo ) su blog y el mÃo al desplegar el post este se ve muy feo .. Con fotos pequeñas y sin las pestañas de los lados.. Esto le ocurre a muchos blog de blogger pero hay otros en que no les pasa. Esos siguen estando igual que antes.. Yo me he metido a cambiar muchas cosas en mi configuración y nada consigue el cambio. Esto ocurre al visualizar lo en los iPad. Acá no se por los( EEUU) me imagino que también es una herramienta altamente utilizada . De echo yo en las noches disfrutaba viendo algunos blog que me gustan en mi cama y con mi iPad. Y eso le pasas a mucha gente... Yo esto se lo planteo a usted como usted tiene mucho contacto con blogs EEUU que llevan la vanguardia en todo . Es posible que haya algo en nuestra configuración que haga que en los iPad se despliegue parcialmente y con fotos pequeñas
ReplyDeleteBueno estoy a la espera de sus comentarios y perdone por lo largo de este
Cariños
These are awesome! Such a great idea and very festive. Merry Christmas!
ReplyDeleteBright and beautiful, they look great! Just switch them around Oh, Oh, Oh :P Merry Christmas xo
ReplyDeleteAt first I was thinking you could change it to say "ha ha ha" ... but you could always go with "family."
ReplyDeleteLove the ho ho ho art! Just adorable!
