DIY: Fast & fancy St. Patrick’s Day Word Art

image

Before an upcoming holiday, I like to create a quick DIY word art piece to sit in a frame on our front entryway table. It usually takes about 10 minutes to make on the computer.  After playing around with the layout a bit, I click “print” and pop it into the frame.  My frame happens to be 8.5″ x 11″, so I don’t even have to trim it after printing it on a standard piece of card stock paper.  I use www.wordle.net, where I can customize the wording, size, font, layout & colors to match the specific holiday or theme of my diy art piece.  It’s fun, simple and best of all, FREE, especially because I can easily swap a new one in when the next holiday arrives. {here is my old Valentine’s Day one}

Visit www.wordle.net to create your own customized St.Patrick’s Day word art! The Help / FAQ section is quite useful if you want to learn how to make certain words larger than others, group words of a phrase together, etc.

The small framed word art piece below was created in MS Word from an old Irish blessing I found in a Google search.  I printed it on white card stock paper & cut it to fit in the gold frame.

Both are pictured below sitting side by side on my entryway table.
