Need a little holiday decor? A simple, cheap, easy DIY? Could even involve the kids. Choose the words you want to decorate with and go to Michaels or Hobby Lobby and get some letters. Any kind you want, wood, metal, chipboard. I chose to buy the chipboard letters since they are $1.99 each. Once I decided on the letters, I carried them over to the paper isle to pick out holiday sheets that were large enough to cover each letter. Then all you need is some modge podge, some paint to match your paper and a foam brush or two. Start by painting the edges of your letters as they will not be covered by your decorative paper. Once the edges are dry lay your sheets of paper face down and place your letter on top of the paper (backwards of course) and trace around the letter. Next cut out your tracing. Next modge podge your letter and press the paper onto it smoothing it out as you go. Once it dries apply another layer of modge podge. I chose not to attach my letters together for easy storage after the holidays, but you could always do that with a flat bracket.
