First of all, MERRY CHRISTMAS everyone!!! This year I decided to do some glittery letters for my moms entrance table. It's super easy to make and it looks awesome! Well that's what I think and best of all, my mom agrees with me ;)
Materials: Some wood letters, fine glitter of your choice (optional: you can also add sequins), mod podge, spray can (or you can substitute it with acrylic paint), some sort of wood glue and a foam brush.
Step 1: Spray paint (or use acrylic paint) the back and all sides of your letters. You do not need to paint the front since this is where the glitter will go.
Step 2: Use your foam brush and brush some mid podge onto the front of your letters (the non-painted side). Before the glue dries sprinkle glitter onto the letters. (Make sure you have a paper underneath so you can pick up the glitter that falls off). Continue until have finished all your letters. That should leave you with some very pretty, glittery letters.
Step 3: Since the wood letters I picked were pretty thin and any slight movement will knock them down, I decided to glue them to a base. I got the wood base below at Michaels. I used the same spray can as before and painted the base to match the silver accent of the letters.
Step 4: Use wood glue (for this project I used Loctite super glue) and poured it onto the bottom of the letters. Then carefully place the letter onto the base and put a little bit of pressure and let sit for a couple of minutes. Continue this step until you have glued all your letters onto the base.
And Ta-da! You have some beautiful, glittery letters. Enjoy!
Merry Christmas!!!
