TYPOGRAPHY ALPHABET WALL ART DIY

Word typography home decor and typography letter art and design is very trendy and I love it too, it is a mix of retro and modern. Typography home decor can be very creatively made and displayed out of letters of your own choice, and with other customisation techniques with this craft! Words, texts, slogans and alphabet letters can be such a rich source of inspiration for plenty of DIY home decor.

You can add your favourite things, whether it is motivational, perhaps an uplifting expression, or just a funny word that immediately made you giggle, like: FIRECRACKER

I love all home decor DIYs when typography book stands and floral vases made out of paper mache letters, and although I was tempted to make a similar one I decided to add my own spin on it. I decided to insert them on the wall with some practicality. In this way not only welcome any visitors with a big kiss and hug but also serve as a vase and some movement can be added.

Another TIP for you:

Just after I made this I thought about turning the alphabet letters around and DIY a key holder with no hooks. I had an idea of a floating key holder placed on the wall with little magnets inside of the letters, which should keep smaller keys in place. It would be even more practical and useful decorative cheerful element to the wall.

But I still love it, it is painted to my favourite color, aqua blue, and can hold many beautiful flowers. Since artificial flowers are light the letters don’t need drills and hooks, all you need is double sided tape if you are planning to put it on your wall.

MATERIALS YOU NEED TO MAKE A TYPOGRAPHY LETTER DESIGN WALL FLORAL VASE DIY

  • paper mache typography letter

  • acrylic paint

  • a knife or similar

  • double sided tape

HOW TO DIY A TYPOGRAPHY LETTER DESIGN WALL FLORAL VASE

Get a knife you use for crafting, the one isn’t so sharp but sharp enough to be able to make this damage to the paper mache letters. Mine maybe got a bit too big, of course you can fine tune it a little, but eventually it will be painted and covered with flowers.

Start applying the paint. If you use acrylic paint by the time you finish with one side of one of the letter, the other one dries up so you don’t have to wait hours for them. Reapply another coat if you feel the need.

I mixed my color from white, turquoise and a bit of yellow, I really wanted to capture the shade of warm tropical water, my favourite color aqua blue.

Once all set, with your scissors cut little strips from your double sided tape and apply them on the back of the letters and place them to your wall. Make sure to pick a wall which can not be easily damaged with the glue of the tape, as paints, wood, tapestry can work different with tapes.

Decorate your letters with fake flowers, crepe flowers, green leaves.

Not only homes, but office desks also and bookshelves are suitable to be embellished with a little bit different, catchy letter ornaments!

Slogans and fashion are intertwined for long now, prints, abbreviation, messages can be expressed in a new and creative way when making your own DIY clothes.

Fashion accessories can also be bright, unique and innovative extension to your wardrobe collection! I have made a story telling letter fashion accessory DIY. Picked a chain and adorned with letter shaped mini bags. Lip print, heart shape and letters were crafted from glitter felt to add some sparkles. It is so funky, such original idea to showcase your sense of self with a personal touch.
