31 Home Projects for This Spring That Cost Under $30

21. Jelly Bean Door Monogram

Create a one-of-a-kind monogram to display on your front door or mantel using a craft store cardboard monogram letter and your favorite color of jelly beans. This display is great for Easter, but it’s also seasonal enough to bring smiles to your guests’ faces all spring long.

Better Homes and Gardens suggested painting the letter in a backing color similar to the jelly beans of your choice. Once the paint dries, hot-glue jelly beans to cover the surface of the letter completely. Take the piece outdoors and set it on a plastic tarp, then spray an acrylic clear coat over the jelly beans to preserve them. Hot glue a loop of ribbon to the back of the monogram to hang it from a nail on the door, or prop it up on a mantel shelf to display indoors.

The total estimated cost for a jelly bean door monogram is $18.10 assuming you have a hot glue gun, hot glue and a small piece of ribbon. Here’s what you’ll need:
Cardboard monogram letter: $1.97
Bag of jelly beans: $5.99
Craft paint: $3.36
Tarp: $2.82
Acrylic clear coat spray: $3.96
