DIY Christmas Monogram

I made this Christmas Monogram as part of a Craft Lightning- Holiday Edition roundup that’s been going on this week.  Basically, it’s a roundup of simple holiday crafts to get your creativity flowing and take less than 15 minutes to create.  Sounds good, huh?

Painted MDF letter using @decoart Metallic Paint

  • Choose a wood letter
  • Paint with DecoArt Metallics Paint.  I apply two coats of paint, the drying time is quick.
  • Embossed leaves adds a unique texture to these Holly Leaves
  • Cut out Holly Leaves with card stock either by using a die cutting machine or template.
  • Emboss Holly leaves with a swirl folder, ink edges.
You could also use faux Holly leaves if you didn’t want to use paper.

 

Use red buttons to make Holly Berries

  • Adhere layered Holly leaves on to Monogram.
  • Adhere a cluster of red Button Galore buttons as Holly berries.
  • DIY Christmas Monogram with Holly Buttons and Leaves

  • American Crafts Cardstock
  • Buttons Galore & More Buttons, Classic Red
  • Colorbox Ink
