I was gifted this beautiful rose gold wood word “Salaam” by Also Sophia. It’s from the Perfectly Imperfect line. She told me that it had a few marks and asked for my help to DIY it.
She is selling many words like: Ramadan, Eid, Mubarak, Salaam at a discount because of the slight damage. You can save an additional 10% by using my code HANA10. This also gives me a small commission
The mark ups didn’t bother me, but I wanted to see if I could easily cover them up, so one quick way was to paint the front in black to give it a black and gold finish. I just used 3 coats of kids craft paint
But I wanted to try something bigger and give it more OOMP. I saw ideas of wedding flowers in a shadow box and used those as a jumping point
What you need
- Shadow box (I used 18×24 inch)
- assortment of florals in same colour family and lots of greens
- Wire cutters
Let’s get crafting
- Place all the wood word in the middle of frame, then place large flowers first on the mat
- Start to add the medium flowers to fill the gaps
- Add all the small flowers with greens
- Lift the word and place greens under the word. I chose to NOT place flowers under the word as it makes it hard to read
- Trim all the long stems that are sticking out beyond your mat
- Carefully lift your mat and place it on something you can get under. I used a bench
- Place the shadow box on top and tuck all the greens into the box
- Secure the box with the clips on the bottom by lying down on the floor. It’s not glamorous but it’s the easiest way!
- Ta DA! Enjoy
