2017 circular wall decor diy

Hello Lolly Jane readers, it’s Jaime from That’s My Letter and we’re nearly to the New Year!  Today I raided my scrap wood bin to make this sparkly and festive 2017 circular wall decor and I’m sharing all the details down below so you can make it, too!

Dig through your scrap wood pile, any size will do, just enough to make a 14″ circle or go bigger if you like!  I often find myself wanting things simple by the time New Year’s rolls around.  After all the Christmas decorations come down we want some breathing room so this circular wall decoration fits the bill.

It’s simple and concise with a bit of shimmer to get the party started!

I used 1/2″ plywood scraps to cut out the numbers but you could easily grab pre-cut numbers from the craft store too.
