Paper Mache Letters.

You may have seen a few weeks back when I posted a photo of the new 23.5" Paper Mache letters we now have in store. You can find these letters at the back of the store by our Beads & Basics demo counter. And the best part...they are only $9.99!


As I mentioned when I first posted them, the possibilites are endless with how you could embellish and decorate them! Today I wanted to share a few of the samples we have come up with.

For this letter C - we painted the letter, covered it with patter paper and added a burlap embellishment to the side.
 

For the letter K, we did the same thing, just using a different pattern paper (if you are trying to cover the entire letter with a single pattern if works best to chose a stripe or repeating pattern that you can easily match up).

For the letter L, we painted the letter pink and then used hot glue to adhere cupcake liners to the front of the letter.

On the letter H, we used Tacky Glue to create a pattern on the letter - then once it was dry we painted the letter with a cream color and then distressed it with a darker color. Then simply added a bow to the side using brown ribbon.

For the letter J, we painted the letter blue and then used an Ombre yarn to cover the letter, securing it with hot glue as we wrapped it around the letter.

Finally for the letter N, we created a fall look by painting, and then covering the letter with pattern paper and adding a fall arrangement to the side secured with a burlap ribbon. This would also be a great alternative to a fall wreath on your front door!
We've also found plenty of different project ideas using letters on Pinterest, you can find them on our Project Inspiration board.
