Girls Craft Night #2...Berry Letters

Last night, the girls came over for our 2nd Girls Craft Night. SO much fun - if you have a group of friends close by, who all love to craft, I highly recommend getting together and doing this. It's so nice to just hang out with some good friends, catch up, and leave with something pretty for your home. Oh, and did I mention the wine and yummy food? Yep, not only are these ladies crafty, they come bearing delicious food and wine! And thanks to Pinterest, you're NEVER at a loss of things to make. This month's project was a berry letter, inspired by this beauty I saw on Pinterest from Our Unexpected Journey.

Sounded so simple, would only cost about $10 (or less), and most importantly, involved very little concentration! Perfect for us chatty gals - we just hot glued away, and that was all the thinking we needed to do;)

We each picked up our own letters - those $3.99 MDF black letters at Michaels, or the smaller white ones - whichever we wanted.

I decided to spray mine red, just in case you would see underneath the berries - in hindsight, this is not necessary. The others turned out looking exactly the same. We had an assortment of berries to choose from - some of us picked up garland, and just snipped and glued pieces of that onto the letter, and some of us picked up these canisters for $5.99 of loose ones:

Even after filling the entire letter, you're still left with a little less than half of this guy.

Then, that's pretty much it! Just plug in those glue guns and get to work!

Ta-da!

I love how they turned out! I decided to attach some ribbon I had to mine, and hang it over a mirror:

Maybe I'll add a sprig or two of greens to hang over the top, to make it even more festive;) Or these would look great sitting on a shelf too - lots of possibilities!

Some of my friends also bought extra letters, so they can make Christmas gifts for people - how special, how pretty, and how inexpensive, right?! Thanks so much to Adrienne at Our Unexpected Journey, for the awesome idea! By the way - it's a fabulous blog, suggest you check it out, you won't be sorry!
