"Go confidently in the direction of your dreams. Live the life you always imagined." - Henry David Thoreau
These personalized letters are one of my favorite projects to make. I made it for a baby gift for my husband's co-worker about 3 years ago and its been so popular that its been my go-to gift for new arrivals. The recipients have always urged me to sell them, but I just don't have the time and resources to do a craft booth somewhere. But luckily with technology there are now other avenues. In the next couple of days I am going to open my own Etsy.com store and sell some of my creations. I'll keep you updated, but I hope you will go check it out! Here's the How-To if you decide you would like to make your own....
MATERIALS:
Wood Letter
Paper
Ribbon
Stickers or Cricut cut letters
Embellishments
Mod Podge and foam applicator
Glue, glue gun, spray adhesive, Scissors
HOW-TO:
1. Trace letter onto piece of paper. Cut out. Ink edges
2. Using spray adhesive adhere paper letter to wood letter
3. Apply stickers (or other letters to spell name) to background paper and cut out desired squares. Ink edges.
4. Adhere small name letters to the large letter.
5. Apply Mod Podge or some finishing product.
6. Using glue (I prefer glue gun) apply ribbon to the outside of the letter. Start at the bottom where it won't be very visible.
7. Adhere ribbon to the back of the letter to create your hanger
8. Add any embellishments.
I'm going to sell this one for only $15! If you are interested in having one custom made, please email me at inspiremecrafts@yahoo.com. Have a great weekend and stay tuned next week because I will have some Easter projects up for you to enjoy!
