Kids Can Make This Large Holiday Wall Decoration with Ease

                          

Large happy holiday wall decoration that can easily be made by kids.

This piece of work was made fairly simple and would be a great family project to make holidays.

All you need are a few items that you may already have at home.

Posterboard, paint, yarn, snowflakes, snowman, card stock, pre-made letters, and glue of some sort.

~ Arrange the yarn onto the posterboard and glue in place.

~ Paint the poster board with the yarn on top of your color choice. Silver spray paint was used for this        project.

~ Cut your card stock into Rectangular shapes that are large enough to contain a pre-made letter.

~ Glue each letter onto a rectangle. Letters can also be painted on to the card stock pieces.

~ Once your poster board is dry you can arrange your rectangle letters onto the board and glue in place.

~ Glue or staple (like what was done here) your large decorations such as snowflakes, snowmen, ornaments, or bells around your letters.

~ Due to the light weight of this project it was hung on the wall with thumbtacks. You can easily attach a ribbon for hanging if so desired!

This project can be done in the same type of way for any special event!

Beautiful decorations for the kitchen

See the picture below for a  really great idea for decorating  above your kitchen cabinets!

Not only was this a very simple to put together, it was also very cost-effective! Believe it or not this only cost me seven dollars!  Two dollars if you already have the spray paint.

You can easily make this no time at all! 

                               

You will need:

One or two sheets of foam posterboard from the dollar store.

One or two rolls of ribbon from the dollar store.

Spray paint

Real live greenery, I picked this greenery up at no charge from a place selling Christmas trees.

Instructions:

Measure the distance from the top of your cabinets to you ceiling.

Cut the foamboard to the height you will need from the ceiling to your cabinets, the width is totally up to you.

Spray paint your foam board pieces

Tie ribbon around your foamboard towards the upper half of the piece.

Place your foamboard pieces on top of your cabinets spacing them to your liking.

Place the greenery in between the foamboard pieces.

If you have an electrical outlet on the top of your cabinets this would look gorgeous with the candles that you plug in!
