One of the best ways to decorate a home if you are someone who appreciates luxury goods is to buy into the luxury homeware that many designer brands sell. For many, it is way out of our price range. Here are three DIY projects that I have personally tried out myself, and I will give you the resources to try then out on your own!
1. A logo letter is the perfect customizable gift.
Gucci Letter
Nicole Clawson
What you need:
-Wooden letter from a craft store
-Pencil
-Paint
-Glue stick
-Computer and printer
-Scissors
Duration: 1 hour (can vary depending on drying time)
Price: Less than $5
Directions:
1. First paint the whole letter by your chosen colored paint. For this example, I did white. Two even coats will cover the wood color. Let each coat dry for 15-20 minutes.
2. Find a picture of a logo online you like, save it and print it out.
3. Trace the logo with your wood letter. Cut out paper.
4. Glue the paper to the wooden letter, let dry, and you're done!
This is a simple, cute, and personal piece that's great to make as a gift for your friend using their favorite brand!
2. Use your perfume bottle for inspiration!
