Make a joyful sign from cardboard text, scrapbook paper, and magazine clippings for your doll's Christmas decor this coming holiday season. You can copy my contemporary version below using similar supplies or use this same idea to craft the words of your own favorite Christmas hymn.
Supply List:
 |
| Above you can see that I used pre-cut cardboard letters for my "joy" On the right is the finished letter art for a dollhouse wall. |
- Christmas scrapbook paper
- pre-cut cardboard letters (optional)
- recyclable magazines
- cardboard
- white school glue
- hot glue and hot glue gun (optional)
- wire or ribbon for hanging
- Christmas tree cookie cutter (optional)
- tracing paper (optional)
- Mod Podge
For this craft you will need to cut the word "joy" from cardboard and then paste a decorative paper onto the word to make it 3 dimensional. (use Mod Podge in layers) I've included some Roman alphabet letters below for those of you who would like to draw or trace your own letter versions on cardboard and then cut them out.
Print and cut out the tree template from below and cover it with Christmas scrapbook paper. Mount the word joy onto the tree with hot glue. Or, if you have a tree cookie cutter at home, you could trace around it's shape onto cardboard alternatively.
Layer words and letters, "to the world the LORD has come" cut from recycled magazine text with Mod Podge below the "joy" letters.
Bend and attach a wire or hook for hanging on the backside of the tree with glue or tape.
Hang this contemporary letter art on the wall of your American Girl Doll house for Christmas.
