First I gathered my supplies, which I fortunately had on hand. I didn't want to run to the store in this cold rain! They consisted of wooden letters (by Nicole - found at Michaels), Mod Podge, scrapbook paper (one 12x12 for each letter), a pencil, and scissors.
I flipped over the paper and traced the letter. I cut the letter out just inside the pencil line so it was slightly smaller than the letter.
Using a paint brush, I spread a generous amout of Mod Podge onto the letter.
Next, I placed the paper onto the letter. You should be able to slide the paper around until it is in place. If you don't use a generous amount of Mod Podge, it will be very sticky and moving the paper will be difficult. Using a flat edge, I squeezed out any bubbles or wrinkles in the paper.
I added a thin layer of Mod Podge on top.
Once it dried, I used a sponge and ink pad to blacken the edges of the letters.
Finally I painted the edges.
My husband helped me measure and hang them on my son's wall. He loves it, and that makes me happy!
