Home for the Holidays Craft!


I am not the world’s greatest crafter. 聽I wish I were, but I’m not. 聽In fact, the less free reign I have with creativity on a craft project, the better. 聽I like step by step instructions. 聽And I like simple. 聽Fortunately for me, my husband happens to think I’m highly talented when it comes to all things craft and sewing (can we say biased?), so he makes me feel pretty dang good about myself! 聽馃檪

I absolutely love holidays and seasons. 聽And I love the decor that comes with them. 聽But I also don’t want anything too overwhelming. 聽This craft is easy, inexpensive, and oh-so-cute. 聽I have had many-a-compliment about this simple “Home for the Holidays” craft, as I like to call it. 聽It simply is the word “Home” using various shapes as the ‘O’ for each month. 聽The possibilities are endless! 聽October? 聽A pumpkin! 聽February – a heart. 聽August – the sun. 聽So easy to come up with a corresponding shape for a month.

If you don’t have your own tools and/or aren’t into cutting your own wood supplies (me!), there are plenty of places around that sell wood crafts and letters ready to paint.

What you’ll need:

  • Wood letters H, M, & E
  • Paint Brushes
  • Paint
  • Various holiday wood cut-outs
  • Possibly a hot glue gun
  • Any other cute embellishments you could possibly want
Just paint the H, M, & E in any color that suits your home decor. 聽I sanded the edges, too. Then go to town painting the various shapes for each month (I spread mine out and did a couple months at a time). 聽Use cute accessories and embellishments to really make them stand out. 聽Now you have a permanent holiday decor fixture in your home that you easily change out a simple element each month! 聽Ta da!
