Noel sign on the mantel with Christmas stockings hanging above it.A couple of months back I purchased some handy craft supplies from Consumer Crafts. Trying to think ahead for the holidays I grabbed some paper mache letters and a small wreath garland to make a DIY NOEL display, but of course time slipped away from me and I’m just now getting to this project!

The Beveled Noel Letter Display!

Chalk paint, glue, and brush in front of the N on the sign.Here are the supplies I used:

  • N, E and L paper mache letters (only $2.27 each)
  • Small pine wreath ($2.27)
  • Pure White Annie Sloan Chalk Paint
  • Elmer’s glue
  • Dark and clear Annie Sloan wax
  • Paint brush

Putting glue on the sign.So, I first started by creating a beveled design on my paper mache letters with the Elmer’s glue. I kinda just went with it, not really mapping out a design ahead of time.

Brushing white paint over top of the glue that is beveled.Then I let the glue dry and then coated the letters with the white paint mixed with a little bit of water so it went on smoothly.

Two cans of Annie Sloan soft wax on the table.Next I mixed some dark and clear wax and applied it to the painted letters. The dark wax really made the beveled designs pop out from the white paint.

And that’s it! Pretty simple project that really didn’t take me too long to create at all. And the entire project with new supplies cost me less than $10. Gotta love that!

Of course y’all know how much I love printables and they’re pretty much a staple when I decorate for the seasons, so today I’m sharing a brand new Christmas printable with you… something to spread the holiday cheer!

I’m kind of obsessed with this new printable. Not only would it look awesome on display in an 8×10 inch frame, but you could also use this as a holiday gift tag or even your Christmas card design.

Then trim and place in an 8×10 inch frame.

This could make a great teacher’s gift if you frame the printable and give her a bunch of gift tags for the holiday season!

HOPE YOU ENJOY!

    I did something similar but made my letters out of pieces of cardboard i cut out with an exacto and wrapped with jute – the dollar store also has some decent little wreaths like that!

    Super cute Erin! I love how they no longer look like paper mache letters at all! They look awesome!

    I normally put down clear or light first, then embellish with the dark. Much easier to work with that way!
