And if you find yourself with some free hours on Christmas Eve, below's a little tutorial for this last minute, easy to make handmade Christmas decoration.
Take a piece of cardboard and prime it with gesso.
Use some letter stencils to trace the letters on the cardboard.
You could also use the stencils to fill in the paint directly. But as
mine are broken, I decided to just trace the lines and paint them
afterwards. This also allowed me to make them a bit bigger and bolder.
Add some more layers, details, textures, colours, emebellishments, patterns. The possibilities are endless. I kept mine quite simple.
Then cut out the letters with a pair of scissors.
Use a cutting knive to cut out the bits in between, and to do any tidying up, if necessary.
Punch two holes into the top of each letter.
Use a piece of string to string them all togher.
And it's ready to hang on a door, or wall, or your Christmas tree.
Have a wonderful Christmas!
