Have you ever been inspired by a picture?

That's what happened when Val showed me a picture of the holiday decoration she was going to make.

Since I was already out for the day shopping with my mom, I decided a trip to Hobby Lobby would be included in our destinations to visit.

Althought I couldnt' find a paper mache' Z I did find a wood one and when it rang up 50% off, I thought even better!  I found the ornaments at Target and once I arrived home I painted the letter with silver paint.  

Once dry I began hot gluing ornaments to the letter...

Starting at one end, I began covering the Z with the different bulbs

my finished project!
