Hi friends! So if you follow me on Instagram, you might have seen these letters on my messy craft table a couple of weeks ago. Well now you finally get to see what I’ve done with them – I made them into a Joy to the World DIY Wall Hanging! This DIY is so very easy, here are the steps…
What you’ll need:
- Large “JOY” letters
- Vintage map scrapbook paper
- Mod Podge
- Hot glue gun/glue
- Burlap ribbon
- Twine
And the steps:
- I traced the “JOY” letters onto the map scrapbook paper and cut the letters out.
- I used Mod Podge to apply the scrapbook paper to the front of the letters.
- Once dry, I glued the letters to a length of burlap ribbon, and glued a burlap bow to the top.
- Lastly, I glued a loop of twine to the top of the burlap ribbon, behind the bow, to hang by, and you’re done!
And here’s how it turned out…
What do you think? I love how it turned out. We have it hanging by our front entrance, just before the stairs. It’s a fun area to decorate with wall hangings such as this, though this is the first time I’ve made one! And, we’re almost done! Can you believe it – Christmas in less than a week?

I love it for sure! Great job! ♥
CUTE! I have some “JOY” letters from a diy fail that I can rescue with this. I have about 1,548 vintage maps too 😉
These kind of look like the map letters that I’m obsessed with from World Market! What a great tutorial Kimberly! Looks like your JOY turned out great 🙂
This is so awesome! Can you make me one too please? 🙂
Love this! Would match perfect with the decor I’ve already got going! Where do you find the burlap ribbon? I can never find it!
Love the joy to the world!
gorgeous!!! You’ve got lots of JOY in your house this season, love all the natural colors, so very shabby chic!
Oh my goodness, these are gorgeous! I love them and just have to pin this project!
