As promised, here is another installment in my recent obsession with marquee decorations – this time a Christmas version. I saw a JOY marquee at Pottery Barn back in the fall, and I knew it would be the perfect Christmas decoration for our movie themed family room. Unfortunately, the price tag was not so perfect. So I decided to make my own JOY marquee using Heidi Swapp Marquee Love letters I bought at Michael’s. I got a J, a Y, and on a whim a star for the O. I painted the edges a pewter color and filled the inside with red, silver, and green glitter paper. And that was it! Super quick and easy – the whole project took less time than it would have taken to drive to our local Pottery Barn and back! And I actually like my cheaper DIY version better than the Pottery Barn inspiration because it’s more Christmas-y and the colors go better with our red and green Christmas decorations. I hope your Christmas is full of JOY!

JOY Marquee
