Add a festive touch to your mantel or the top of a bookshelf when you create this Holiday Joy Mantel Decoration! The easy Christmas craft is perfect for gift ideas, too.

From the blogger: "Purchasing wooden letters can be expensive, plus you are limited only to the style the store offers. If you have a saw, then you can use the fonts of your computer to your advantage and create any letter you want and in the size you want. Once sawed out, you can decoupage the letters with pretty scrapbook paper of the season or paint them in a color of choice. Then attach the letters onto a wooden base so they will stand nicely and not fall over.

"This idea can be used all year long for any word or name that comes to mind. The technique stays the same."
