Hey everyone! So I have been doing some projects for my 21st birthday party and want to start sharing some of the things I've done so far! I saw this cute photo on Pinterest and decided to do something similar. I haven't quite decided how I am going to set them up, but I think they will be along the side of the house, hanging from the side of the roof by fishing line (surrounded by lights, lanterns, and other cute things) or something else, (I have no idea).
I will definitely let y'all know how I end up doing it!
Supplies:
- Wood letters (I found mine at Michaels craft store.)
- Glue (any kind of liquid glue strong enough to hold the glitter.)
- Gold glitter (I found a cheap jar at Walmart for like $3.)
- Acrylic paints
- Paint brushes/ foam brushes
- Clear coating (I haven't done it in these photos yet.. I am waiting until I'm done with some of the photobooth props!)
STEP ONE: PAINT THE LETTERS
I didn't do much but picked a couple different colors and designs.
I wanted the letters to pop, obviously without the glitter they look sort of blah!
STEP TWO: GLITTER THOSE BABIES UP!
This is the size I picked of glitter. I wanted it to be BIG and FLASHY,
especially because my party is at night and outside.
I used a foam brush to add glue to the gold upper half of the letters,
and poured tons of glitter all over and waited for it to dry a bit before tapping the excess glitter off.
STEP THREE: CLEAR COAT.
I haven't done this step yet, I still have some other pieces to finish.
But- Here's a picture of each letter with the glitter and paint completed!
I can't wait to see how cute they'll make my cake table.
(excuse the "E", I totally accidentally dropped and broke it!)
