I am always bookmarking creative blog posts. But I pretty much have
NO artistic ability so I can only attempt the basics. I have been slowly building my
letter wall. Read about it
HERE. Over a year ago I saw
this post by CBK of
Plan Acourtingly. I immediately bookmarked it and vowed I would create cute letters like the ones she made. Well I searched and searched and couldn't find cardboard letters! My local Jo-Ann's and Michaels don't carry them.
Then I looked on the
Jo-Ann website (why didn't I do this earlier???) and found the cardboard letters!!!!! Find them
HERE. I ordered a bunch and am so excited! Here are the ones I have done so far. I have only used paper. I am going to try to do fabric ones for the next batch. I use
Modge Podge to make them shiny!
An example of a letter (before):

ReplyDeleteThats such a good idea! I would LOVE to do something like that and put my initials over my boring dorm bed; however, I think I'm more craft challenged then you think you are!
ReplyDeletelove this! my friend did something similar but she used silk fall leaves and glued them on. it's so cute! i'll have to do one for Christmas.
ReplyDeleteThey have these letters at my JoAnn's! I would have picked them up for you! They look great though!
ReplyDeleteAnd also, I had a great time on Sunday. Sorry I didn't text you back. The rice krispie treat ball was AMAZING! So good!

Super cute! Love it!
ReplyDeleteLOVE this idea! Genius! I am always tempted to buy the letters at Anthropologie, but the fabric in "my" letters never goes with my decor. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteSo funny that you go this idea from CBK! We've been friends and practical roommates for years! She's quite the crater and your letters look amazing! I think I'm going to get some and cover with moss to put on a bookshelf.
ReplyDeleteI'm catchting up on my blog reading--what a fun craft. And you did a terrific job with your letters. Thanks for the inspiration.
