This is a step-by-step tutorial for DIY letter decor. Letter decor can be a great addition to any room: a nursery, children’s room or family room. There are endless ways to decorate your letters. You can make them soft and simple or colorful and ornate. You can even make it a fun family activity and let the kids decorate their own letters!

:

  • Wooden Letters with picture frame style holes for hanging
  • Acrylic paint or spray paint
  • Metallic Fine Point Markers
  • Gold leaf or glitter
  • Natural Peacock Feathers
  • Glue gun
  • Clear nail varnish or gloss medium

How To Make Pretty Peacock DIY Letter Decor For Walls:

  1. First, choose your color scheme. For my letters I mixed different acrylic paints to get the colors I wanted. After I mixed the colors, I painted the letters. I chose acrylic paint so the brush strokes would be visible. If you want solid color letters, I would suggest using spray paint instead.

  2. Next, I drew a peacock design in pencil on the letter L and went over the design in gold and silver metallic markers. If you are looking for a design similar to this I would suggest looking up henna tattoo designs.

  3. Next, I used multicolored gold leaf to decorate the other letter. I used clear nail varnish to stick the leaf to or use a gloss medium.
  4. I then used a glue gun to add the peacock feathers to the letter with the leaf in order to tie both letters together.
