Typography Mantel Art (using lemons)
I love yellow. I love lemons. And I love word art.
This 15 minute project is a marriage of sorts between these three loves.
Now that I have a fireplace mantel, I’ve been excited to switch out some elements of the decor with the changing seasons.
But I’m not all about BIG projects right now, so I just switch out a few accessories to create a new look.
With summer time right around the corner, I thought it would be a good time to add a new lemony look to my mantelscape.
I also enjoy decorating with fruit–but usually the extent is a bowl of lemons on my kitchen table.
With this project, I decided to take that bowl of lemons to the next level.
So I pulled out a handful of lemons, sliced them up, took them outside to my picnic table–then asked my three year old to help arrange them in the shape of letters that spell “happy”.
Then I downloaded into my computer, edited them with a whitewash finish and resized them to 4×6.
Then printed them to white card stock (I was out of photo paper and this worked just fine).
Then framed them in these simple 4×6 frames.
I think it could be fun to do this with a bunch of different foods and spell out the words “happy birthday”.

Super cute!! I think I may give “FAMILY” a shot… perhaps with the letters filled out with stuff to represent each of us? Some legos, some trains, some spools of thread, etc. Thanks for getting my wheels turning!!
Amy K.
Amy K.“filled out”???? I totally meant SPELLED out. =)
Danica
I love this so much! We’re living with my in-laws right now, but once we get into our own place, I’m so doing this! I love how crafty you are! P.s. the glitter accent nail is really fun. I did red instead of pink since I got a red glitter polish for Christmas that I haven’t worn!
Mariel @ Or so she says...
These are sooooo clever! I love that you did art prints with lemons! Perfect for summer.

OMG, I love your bright fun mantel! What a cool idea for the typography art! I also love your USA artwork (with the yellow frame around it). I’d love to know more about it – did you make it or purchase it? Can you share any details? We have lived in 4 different states and I’d love to have something like that with hearts over the places we’ve lived. Thanks!
