Hello my dear friends! Today is my 10 year anniversary! It’s hard to believe that it’s been a full ten years since that fun Vegas weekend where we got married in front of just 30 of our friends and family. It wasn’t the fairy tale wedding, but we wouldn’t change a thing!
Since we recently updated our master bedroom, I thought it’d be nice to add a little bit of personalized ‘anniversary art’ to it. This piece is also perfect to use as wedding art for those brides to be, or even as a gift for the happy couple!
DIY Wedding Art
Here’s what you’ll need:
Wood plaque
Wood applique
Wood letters and ampersand
{I picked all of these up at Michael’s}
Glue gun/glue stick
Silver and white craft paint {or any color combination you like}
How to Make DIY Wedding Art:
Step 1:
Paint the wood pieces. I used silver on the plaque and letters, and white on the applique.
Step 2:
After all of the pieces have dried, glue the applique to the plaque with the glue gun. Then, glue the letters to the applique in the pattern you like.
Step 3 {Optional}:
Glue a 2 inch strand of jute or heavy string to the back of the plaque, or a saw-tooth hanger for easy hanging!
I bet this would be gorgeous in gold too! Any combination of colors to go with your wedding or home decor makes sense. I also love this idea to use as a family crest, or to give as a gift, there are tons of possibilities.
This will be hung up on my wall today! Just in time for our BIG day!
I’m off to spend the day with my guy! Happy Anniversary to US!
