Quick Christmas Decoration

This project came about from a trip to Michaels with a friend, we saw this little wood letters in their new Christmas section so I grabbed one. Of course when I got it home it sat on my desk for almost two weeks while I tried to figure out what to do with it. I didn't want to cover it with paper and take away from the laser cut in the letters. I ended up painting it green and then it sat some more while I forgot about it.

I took a silver Sharpie paint marker and just traced around the laser cut outs and around the edges of the words. It makes the cut outs pop without covering them up. The flowers are Wild Orchid Crafts red poinsettias with green bling in the center to match the white Petaloo poinsettia. It is a simple project but I think it still looks festive and I will enjoy finding a place for it once the holiday season starts.
