Fun with Mod Podge

So I know you've been seeing them all over the place. Those cute little letters that are all fancy-fied, with paper, embellishments and Mod Podge! Well I decided hey that would look super cute in my very dreary and dull cubicle at work. And then I thought hey other people may want to know how I did this so I've included instructions!

MATERIALS:
-designer paper by Basic Grey Pheobe
-mod podge
-wooden letter
-acrylic paint
-hot glue
-fabric flowers (paper ones are good too!)



Here is my "S":






Step 5: Use your stencil to cut out various plain and patterned papers for your letter (I used 3, and forgot to take a picture of this step!)




To attach the embellishments I used hot glue, and just glued the separate layers together of the flowers and then the button on top and then stuck it to the "S". I also used hot glue to attach the ribbon to the back of the letter. It seems to have worked out just fine!

I hope everyone has enjoyed this little tutorial! And I really hope you enjoy making your own letters for you or your loved ones! They make excellent gifts!

Hope this makes everyone's hump day go by a little quicker so we can get to the weekend! And don't forget to post your projects back here so that I can go take a look at what you are creating!
