4. Glue each of the paper letters onto the coordinating letter using Mod Podge.

6. Sand the edges of each of the letters to remove any excess paper and to distress the edges.
7. Ink the edges of each of the letters with the Tim Holtz Distress Ink Pads.
8. Once the paper is completely dry you can apply a coat of Mod Podge over the tops and sides of each letter.
9. Allow letters to dry completely.

12. Twist wire around a couple of the letters for an extra pop of visual interest.

Happy crafting!

  1. I loved working on my letters. I found it more relaxing then scrap-booking to just cover,paint and sand the edges down.
