Decoupage Letters

These decoupage letters make the PERFECT gift for any child or teenager... especially if you know the color scheme of their room. They are so easy and fun to make!

Materials needed: kraft block letter(s), scrapbook paper, 1" foam paintbrush, Modge Podge Matte glue, ribbon, and scissors.

Step 1: Tear scrapbook paper into 1-3" pieces. I prefer having 3 different patterns.

Step 2: Take one of the cutouts you tore and determine where you want it on the letter. Using the foam paintbrush, apply a small amount of glue on the back of the cutout and place on the letter. Smooth out any bubbles and wrinkles.

Step 3: Apply rest of the cutouts using the same technique. I prefer to overlap my cutouts.

Step 4: Once the front and sides are complete, apply one to two coats of glue over the entire surface. Allow the surface to dry between coats.

Step 5: Allow letter to dry for at least an hour. Wrap a ribbon around one side for an extra touch.

Happy decoupaging!
