Nesting? Nursery Door Decor

With Baby Katherine due any day now, my mother-in-law thinks this is a sign that I am starting to nest.  In reality, I annoyed my husband so much in the last week (being off work) that he told me I needed to find a hobby.  So, I decided to try my hand at crafting a project I've had a vision of in my head for awhile: A hanging 'K' for the door of the nursery.  Our nursery theme is Jungle with a gender neutral green and yellow color scheme, you can customize this project to your theme and colors!

Items You Need (Purchased Mine at Michaels):
- Wooden Letter (in the style of your choice, Michaels had a variety of styles to choose from)
- Rhinestones (in coordinating color, mine are a light green)
- Ribbon (Mine is a yellow/green jungle themed ribbon)
- Paint (I used a leftover yellow paint sample we got when trying to decide on what color to paint the nursery)
- Paint Brush
- Hot Glue/Hot Glue Gun

First, I painted the wooden 'K'.  I took me three coats of paint to cover.  No need to paint the back, but make sure to paint the sides. 

Once dried, I played around with the placement of the rhinestones, finally deciding on accenting the swirl and the middle of the K.  Once I decided where I liked the rhinestones, I hot glued them on.  TIP: I like hot glue, because it is easy to remove after applying if you don't get the placement just right.

Lastly, I cut two lengths of ribbon about 15 inches long.  Because of the style of my K, I had to attach the ribbon at an inward angle.  Again, I used hot glue for this because I could easily remove it and try again until I got the angle perfect.  Once I attached the two lengths of ribbon (one to each top part of the K), I tied them together in a simple bow.  Then I cut the ends so that they didn't hang down over the K.  TIP: Once I was happy with the bow, I used a lighter to lightly melt the edges of the ribbon to stop it from fraying (a trick a learned as a ballerina).

And Done!  The whole thing took me maybe 2 hours (with most of it waiting for the paint to dry!).
