What You Will Need
- Paper mache letters these are the 12 inch variety
- Krylon Spray Paint in your choice of colors
- Scrapbook paper in your choice of pattern/color I am using Core Impressions which can be sanded to reveal another color.
- Decoupage Medium
- Distress Ink optional
Instructions
- Start by spraying all edges of your letters with the spray paint of your choice. Apply several light coats to get good coverage. Allow to dry and cure completely before continuing.
- I noted earlier that I had used Core Essentials on these particular letters. Just give the paper a light sanding and you reveal the “core” of the paper. You can see on the left is the original paper and on the right is my letter after some sanding.
- To add to that rustic feel I used a distress ink pad just around the edge of each letter. This is optional but does give a great effect.
- Allow everything to dry, and your letters are ready to display.
