Apr 17, 2013
We’ve already shown you a handful of gorgeous typographical products to swoon over, from customizable couches to bookcases. Now it’s time to get scrappy! Here are 20 ways to create your own typographical decor. After all, why buy when you can DIY?
Cut Out Letter Posters
We’ll kick it off with a party rockin’ poster! Love this play on the pop-up. (via How About Orange)
Wire Word Friendship Bracelets
We might be stretching the definition of decor by including a wearable (or two) on this list, but accessories are how we decorate ourselves, right? (via Brit + Co.)
Typography Chair
If you’ve got an old chair that needs an update, use adhesive letters as stencils to recreate a similar look. This could be a great way to personalize a kid’s room. (via Dollar Store Crafts)
Mini Marquee
Celebrate! All you need is colorful card stock and lights to recreate your own take on this fun project. Stay tuned for a larger (and simpler) version tomorrow! (via Brit + Co.)
Song Lyric Wall Art
We love this way of using old maps or patterned paper without getting too scrapbook-y. (via A Beautiful Mess)
Light Up Headboard
Now this is pretty amazing. They drew on the design, drilled holes through the headboard, and backed with lighting. (via A Beautiful Mess)
Custom Paper Clips
These custom paper clips are great for invitations, notes, and table numbers. (via Curbly)
Faux Moss Word
We can’t decide if this is totally weird or totally cool, but we’re in. (via Crafted)
Holy Chic Typography Tee
Holy chic! The moment we saw this $225 t-shirt we knew we had to recreate it. (via Brit + Co.)
Monogram Piñata
We think piñata versions of just about everything would make the world a better place. (via Oh Happy Day)
Cheers Coasters
We love how these coasters double as motivation to get to the bottom of your drink faster. (via Design Love Fest)
Metallic Letters
Inspired by metallic letters seen at both flea markets and Anthropologie, we’re digging the industrial look of this kitchen decor. (via Creative Index)
Laser Etched Oranges
Who doesn’t have a laser etching machine for writing funny messages on fruit? ;) (via Brit + Co.)
