DIY Letter Decor Supplies:

• Wooden Letters with picture frame style holes for hanging

• 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.

   

5. Finally, hang you letters on the wall and enjoy!
