Sweet Shower: DIY Letter Display

Sweet Shower: DIY Letter Display

I left you hanging on the sugary details on the shower I threw for MOH-Ho. My bad. I’m trying to get my shiznit together now and at least finish this mini-series (previous episodes: one, two, three, four, & five). To ease you back into this, I’ll show you a simple DIY decoration project.

In the clubhouse where the shower was held, there’s a kitchen with a breakfast bar. I wanted to keep most of the bar top open for guests to set drinks on but without leaving it bare and boring. Matching the rest of the shower stuff, I picked out 5 shades of coordinating pinks in graduating darkness to paint the wooden letters S-U-G-A-R:

To display them, I bought some single serving trifle dishes which MOH-Ho had mentioned several times that she wanted but couldn’t justify buying. They not only went well with the baking/dessert theme, but had a loving home after the shower. I added some table sugar to hold up the letters and establish a white base to help the pinks pop:

These didn’t take up much room, but effectively greeted the guests as they walked in.

This simple idea is cost efficient, not too wasteful, and easy to make. Using wide-mouth containers (perhaps bowls/jars/glasses that you already own), some wooden/paper block letters, and any powder/grain for base, this idea can easily be adapted to fit many themes.

Happy crafting!

How does the 4th picture have little specks of light that looks like hearts? Is that photoshopped in? So cute!
