Project Ideas: MORE Paper Mache Letters


Today is the start of our new Mother's Day Sale Ad (which you can check out HERE). Included in the ad and on sale for only $7.88 each are our large (23.5") paper mache letters. Recently we created some new project ideas using these large letters that I thought I would share with you today - each of them turned out equally amazing but so different too! 

You can find a link to project instructions for each of the letters below by clicking on the project name, and you can also find project sheets for all of our paper mache letter samples by clicking HERE.

Wedding Trends & Ideas.

Our Floral Department has been busy the past few weeks putting together some new ideas and inspiration for the upcoming wedding season.

They have so many great ideas and the displays are absolutely gorgeous!!

I especially love this center piece arrangement they created and then added the letters to spell out "come away with me". You could use this same idea and spell out the bride & grooms names, their last name, just married....there are so many options.


Another awesome thing our Floral Department did was create idea/inspiration displays for the different wedding trends we are seeing for 2013. Some of the trends we are seeing are:

1920's Look & Feel (with Laser Die-cuts):


Braids & Chicken Wire decorations:


Backgrounds & Paper Lanterns:


Bark & Birds:


And a really big color this year for weddings - mint green:


I also love this display they created using the large paper mache letters:



Burlap details are also still very popular:


And in case you didn't know: the "official" color of the year for 2013 is emerald green:


We also have a display using purple & white:


Some ideas on how to decorate a arch:


As well as plenty of ideas on the extra little details and flowers/ bouquets too!
 

If you are in any stages of planning a wedding you will definitely want to stop in soon to check out all the new items and displays!

Lights + Letters.


How cute is this display our Floral department came up with?!

I love how simple it is - yet it still makes a big impact. This display would obviously be great for a wedding but I also like the idea of using letters and lights like this at any event or party.

You could even do this on a smaller scale and spell out NEW YEAR for a festive piece this weekend!

25 Days of Christmas 2012: Day 3


Day 3: S is for Santa Paper Mache Letter

Today I wanted to share one of our paper mache letters that we decorated in a Santa theme. This would be a great decor piece and is very easy to create - all we did was paint the letter with red paint, added a belt buckle (which you purchase as shown) and then used hot glue to add the feather boa to the two edges of the letter. You can find all our large paper mache letters in the back of the store by our Beads & Basics demo counter.

A Few More Letters....

Today, a few more project examples of how you could decorate/alter our large Paper Mache letters.

For this E, we painted the letter with black acrylic paint and then actually covered the outside edges of the letter with pattern paper (a fun twist instead of covering the front), and then added a large flower to the corner.


For the letter I, we painted the letter and then covered it using 6x6" rhinestone sheets, cut down to fit the letter.



The letter P was painted, covered in pattern paper, distressed and then embellished with the Princess title and tulle.


For the letter S, the letter was first covered in tissue paper (that had been crumbled to give it texture) and then painted with a metallic acrylic paint. A simple floral embellishment adds the perfect touch to the letter. 

 

The letter M was painted, wrapped in a brown yarn and then embellished with fall flowers. A perfect rustic, fall piece!


And finally, the burlap B - for this letter we painted the letter a cream color, and then hot glued a strip of burlap on the front of the letter. (The burlap was ruffled by finding a middle strand and pulling to create the ruffle.)



In addition to these larger letters, we also created a few new projects using our smaller 10" wood letters. These letters are great for smaller spaces, or shelves and mantels that aren't as deep. Another great thing about the size of these letters is that it is easy to find space for them to spell out an entire word (a family's last name, a child's first name, the name of a season or holiday, or even just a word that is inspiring to you - are a few examples that come to mind).

For this letter R, we simply covered the letter in burlap and then embellished it by using burlap flowers down the side.


The letter K was covered in pattern paper and then embellished with a yellow flower. I love that ribbon was also added to the back of this letter to allow for hanging - plus the extra pop of yellow is perfect.



The letter F was covered in fall themed pattern paper and then embellished with leave die-cuts and brown twine and ribbon. It would be fun to also cover an "A" and two "L's" with the same pattern paper and display during the Fall season.


The letter K was also covered in pattern paper and then embellished with on of our pre-painted wood footballs and a photo. (We have a wide variety of wood pieces like this football that you could use to match the theme you wish.)


And finally, this letter N was painted and then embellished with jewels from an assorted pack, which were adhered using Glossy Accents adhesive.
