Global LOVE Wedding Decor

With an international travel wedding in the works, we had to come up with some inspired decor for the wedding venue. This week's craft was hand-painted and glazed globes featuring favorite countries and cities of the bride and groom.

Craft day means assembling our brides-to-be and friends to help with the painted globes.
With two engagements in the family, we have a lot more planning and decorating to do!
We used these self-adhesive letters from Michael's because they were the correct size and font. But we did not use the sticky part because it was too sticky! So the letters were traced onto Contact paper, which is removable once they are stuck to the globe and painted.

Contact Paper was used to cut out the letters to place on the globe. Make sure you press down firmly along the edges to prevent paint bleed underneath the letters.
I created a paint/glaze with Americana paints, wax and soft-touch finish to allow the globe to show through the final coats.
