Before our Thanksgiving festivities begin tomorrow, we wanted to share a really beautiful DIY project that we thought would make for the perfect backdrop for your own celebration. It also makes for a lovely hostess gift. Our in-house artist, Jess, hand painted this incredible “Gratitude Changes Everything” print for us. She then gussied it up with a bit of gold leaf paint and a simple white frame. She made it so easy for you guys by including a downloadable template of the art so all you have to do gild away! Insta-gorg art ready for the making.
8 ½ x 11” white cardstock paper
Thin paintbrush
Medium paintbrush
Gold leaf
Adhesive size
Gratitude template
Picture frame
Download & print the Gratitude template on cardstock.
Use the thin paintbrush to gently paint each letter of the yellow “gratitude” with adhesive size. Let dry until tacky, about 5-10 minutes.
Gently press gold leaf sheets on the letters until all are covered. Use the larger paintbrush to press the leaf against the paper and brush off excess gold leaf.
Frame your print & enjoy your handiwork!
