Word messages are a happy way to spread positive cheer, don't you think? Especially when they are delivered in glitter. This project is filled with good intention because you choose a favorite uplifting phrase and use these sparkle-licious Twinkle Type Letters ($9.99) from K & Co. to relay it. Use the finished piece on your front door, the tree, a wall or even a desk.

1 canvas
1 box of Twinkle Type Letters
Hot glue
Craft paint
Brush
Dremel tool
2 eye hooks
Matching ribbon

Directions: Paint the canvas in your desired color and let dry. Choose your phrase and remove the letters from the box to make sure you have what you need. Arrange the word or phrase on the canvas. If you don't have enough room, use a larger canvas, or use two canvases and break up the phrase. Use hot glue to affix the letters. Drill two holes at the top and add eye hooks, thread the ribbon through, tie at one end and hang.

Tips: You can make your own glitter letters with chipboard letters, white craft glue and microfine glitter. Use an oval canvas for use as a table centerpiece.



Since we are talking glitter letters, today I got a package from Making Memories and they have glitter fever too! Check out these wickedly delicious Shimmer Kits.
