This peace Christmas sign uses some of my favorite craft supplies – scrabble tiles, glitters, and the peace symbol. It’s the perfect holiday display!
Skills Required: Beginner. You will be painting stripes and then adding glitter over the top. It should be a very manageable project with a little experience.
I’m in love with gorgeous glitters this holiday season! I love all the shades of Extreme Glitter – although it depends on which project I look at which ones I like best. It’s constantly changing!
Red and green glitter are perfect for Christmas decorations, so I decided to use them this year to make a project to hang in my front entryway. Here’s what I came up with.
One thing I really love about this Christmas sign is the peace symbol. This symbol continues to be all over everything this holiday season . . .
This Scrabble tile project is an homage to both glitter and the peace symbol! And – of course – my favorite holiday: Christmas. Here’s how to make it.
