 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”.
