Etsy Recreate Reveal

I completed my Etsy recreate challenge in approximately 1 hour total. I had to make it my own so I got a little fancy with my final design. I am contemplating doing another one, but this time I will come as close as possible to the original pictures I previously shared. Here are my results below! leave your thoughts in the comments for me please!

Etsy Recreate


So I am feeling like I cannot sleep (could be the salted caramel mocha I had around 4pm)...I have so many crafting ideas floating through my head! I know it has been awhile since my last blog entry, but absence makes the heart grow fonder right? 

So I frequently troll Etsy for stuff I want to purchase or to see if I could possibly recreate for cheap. I want this NOEL sign I keep seeing, but I cannot bring myself to spend 40 dollars on papermache letters and 10 dollars in shipping!!! (gasp)

I am currently obsessed with neutrals and the whole rustic look! 

I plan to recreate the picture below....it does not look too difficult. You can join in on the fun. A Hobby Lobby was recently built near my home so I plan to stop there for all supplies needed. If you are not blessed with a Hobby Lobby then Joann's, Michaels, Walmart....etc will work. 

You will need the following items: 
Glue gun
Glue sticks
Grapevine wreath 10'
8' Papermache letters : N,E,L 
Spray paint in your desired color or colors 
Glitter (optional) 
Faux berries or decorative embellishments (optional) 

Happy Crafting!!!
