J O Y Letters cut from
recycled detergent bottles
This was actually supposed to be a
B O O Halloween framed word from a
99 cents frame from the GW
Enter Excuse:
First off, I feel silly making a post about a
Christmas craft while we {the majority of
the blogging community} are in the midst of
posting Fall and Halloween crafts and decor.
Continue with Post:
However, the frame I painted red was
to hold pictures of my granddaughter,
except I couldn't paint the flowers right
{aka pretty}, so the flowers became dots,
which of course, looks like snow flakes.
CAREFULLY cut out the FLAT sides
from plastic bottles of detergent,
shampoo and other bottles.
I used my heavy duty kitchen shears for this job.
That plastic is tough!
I free handed drawing my letters.
Yep, that's an apple, too.
FYI - I used a hole punch to
hollow out the B and the O.
To coordinate with the frame dots,
I chose white paint. And then
I decided they looked too plain
so I added red dots, to match the frame.
So, there's the story of how
to make letters from plastic and how
B O O turned into J O Y ;-)
Happy Tuesday, Y'all

Jo....all this scary stuff in blogland needs a little JOY...this just shows your happy side..it made me smile too,and that my friend is what it is all about...thanks for the JOY this morning!
ReplyDeleteGood early morning to you , Jo May! thanks, I needed that this morning, along with my 2nd cup of joe! Thanks for your sweet comment and I hope you have a Wonderful Wednesday ;-)
DeleteBoo, Joy, they're both good words! Way to upcycle the plastic!
ReplyDeleteHow adorable! What kind of paint did you use --just regular acrylic?
ReplyDeleteYes, for the white JOY letters, I did use acrylic and a brush, and used the brush end for the dots. I didn't like brush strokes it left, so I made sure to spray paint the BOO black letters - just wish I had paid attention to get the flat black.
DeleteThanks so much coming over the comment ;-)
