{DIY Project} Monogram Wall Art

I've been trying to decide what creative flairs I could add to the kid's room, since I'm just now working on decorating them. I'd had a couple things stashed before we ever moved in, but they amount to a few wall hangings and accents, a mirror and their first finger paintings preserved in frames I got at Hobby Lobby. Then I saw these really cute square monogram art pieces a friend of mine made for her little girl's room and I knew that's what I wanted to add to Trystan and Logan's room!


I started with a stack of chipboard squares, that I got for 50% off at Hobby Lobby. Then I printed out all the letters I needed to spell out two of the girl's names here


With some cheap-o white craft paint, I painted all the edges white so they wouldn't clash with the art I was putting on the front of the squares.


Then I carefully cut out all my letter squares...


...and mod podged them onto my chipboard.




Ta-dah! They turned out super cute. I haven't hung them up yet, so I'll follow up on that when I put together a post on Trystan and Logan's room once I have a few more things finished. I plan to use 3M picture hangers (not hooks) that provide a sort of velcro patch for light-weight wall objects. That way if I want to move things around later, I don't have eight million nail holes in the walls!


I snuck in some of the roses I clipped from my front yard in the photo above. They smell nearly as sweet as sugar. Plus I was in a good mood since I fiiiinnnaaallly got to complete a crafty craft. The kids really didn't understand the importance of mod podging chipboards for their room so they protested (loudly) every time I was out of their line of sight to work on them in the kitchen. Even though I explained to them how nice it'll be to have things on their walls to look at. Babies...what can you do!? ;)

  2. Those are adorable!! Wish I had half the talent you have, looks simple to make and would make a wonderful gift for a Baby shower or a 1st Birthday but I am all thumbs at crafty stuff.
    Your roses are beautiful,so happy you were in a good mood;)
    How are the kiddos doing with teething, still a problem? And my favorite little Harrison hope he is all better!
    Thanks for sharing:)

  3. haha when I saw the l and o, I hadn't looked at the next row and I thought they were numbers. I couldn't figure out why 1 luggage had multiple pieces and 0 owls had several owls! I felt pretty silly when I realized... yes, I am 27 and cannot differentiate between numbers and letters. ;) I love these though.
