The Wonder of Words

Say it with "words" this holiday season! "Words" are an important trend in holiday decorating and with so many scrapbooking supplies and oversized letters to choose from, you'll find lots of fun ideas for creating and decorating with words like "Noel," "Snow," "Joy," and "Believe."

We used 7 1/2" tall wooden letters to spell out "Snow" for this fun holiday decoration. Letters were painted Light Buttermilk, then a stencil and silver paint were used to add a flurry of snowflakes. A silver glitter pen adds shimmer and sparkle to the snowflakes. Mounted on an old window and trimmed with a garland of greens, this word art is sure to become a seasonal favorite.

Create a bucket of winter fun for a special friend by giving her all the ingredients for a relaxing afternoon and a brighter kitchen. Embellish a red bucket with stickers that spell out "snow," then fill it with a mug and hot chocolate, a pretty towel and hot pad, some candy and your best wishes.

Create a coordinating card featuring the "snow" motif to accompany your gift. Sticker letters peek through squares on the cover to convey a sense of seasonal wonder.

Button up your holiday decorating with this cute wall piece. Oversized buttons spell out "Noel." Each button is mounted on a scrapbook paper or fabric background then framed with a small wooden frame that's embellished with coordinating paper. Ribbon ties the frames all together.

Hinged letters cut with a personal die cut machine and embellished with silk flowers and lively bells make a beautiful shelf décor piece. Paired with collectible ceramics, the hinged letters add interest and warmth to the shelf.

Personalize your holiday "word" with family photos and favorite sayings. Here the word, "Joy," is dressed for the holidays with cheery scrapbook papers and embellished with photos, ribbons, tags, stickers, and bells for a personal approach to holiday decorating.
