Are you ready for my easiest DIY to-date?
And in my opinion, maybe the most adorable too!
My sister had her second baby, a girl, this past August! They named her Harper and she's just perfect!
Because her older brother had been ruling the roost, I wanted to make her a little something
~extra girly and extra special~ for her nursery.
Here's a peak at the final product...
Keep scrolling for the easy step-by-steps!
1 large canvas & 2 smaller sized canvases
Acrylic paint colors of your choice (this can obviously be done for a baby boy too!)
Small stencil kit (I used one by Martha Stewart I found at Michael's)
Sponge paint brushes and painters tape
Wooden letters - 3 sets (1 lg for name, 2 small)
Hot glue gun
Prime and paint all your letters. It may take a few rounds to thoroughly coat.
While my letters were drying...I started stenciling the larger canvas with a light pink.
I covered the entire canvas with the same stencil.
Don't worry if it's not perfect, you won't be able to see minor mistakes.
For the smaller canvases, I decided to go with simple stripes.
Using a hot glue gun, apply the smaller letters on each of the smaller canvases.
I liked the off-center look, but you could surely place them wherever you would like!
Apply the larger letters to the center of the the larger canvas. (Sorry, forgot to snap a pic!)
And here's the final product!
Pink, girly and inexpensive to boot!
Oh - and I've pinned this to my Pinterest page if you'd like to add it to your craft boards!
Adorable!
