Paper Mache Letters Craft

This simple project is great for decorating, and adding pizazz to any room!

Or… these would also make great gifts for bridal showers {maybe for the couple’s last name?}, baby showers {for the baby’s name}, birthday gifts, etc!

What You’ll Need:

• Paper Mache Letters {use your craft store coupons to get a deal!}
• Mod Podge
• Foam brushes
• Paint bottle in your selected color
• Scrapbook Paper
• Pencil
• X-acto Knife
• Scissors

Mod Podge

What You’ll Do:

• First… take your unpainted letters and trace them onto your craft paper.

• Cut out the traced paper letters with scissors, and set aside for later.

• Next, take your paper mache letters and set them on newspaper while you paint the sides and back of the letters.  You may need to do a few coats to get your desired color.  {note: you won’t need to paint the front of the letter ~ that will be covered with your craft paper later}

• After the paint has dried completely, brush a thin coat of modge podge on the front of the paper mache letter, then place the craft paper letter on top of the glue and let dry.

• Once the craft paper has had time to dry firmly onto the paper mache letter, brush a nice, even coat of modge podge on top to cover the top of the paper.  Repeat this a few times, allowing each coat to dry completely in between .

• Once the letter has dried completely, brush the entire letter with one last coat of modge podge, to give it a nice shine!

• Embellishments, including string, buttons, clips, ribbon, etc. can be added on after your letters have dried completely.  Have FUN!!
