Christmas Letter Craft

My intentions have been update this site more regulary, however, as you can tell that has not happened. Life has gotten me all busy and stuff so I do what I can when I can and that's not been a whole lot lately. Here it is the day before Christmas Eve and I'm just now posting about this craft that I did at the beginning of December. Oh well, if you like it maybe you can get the materials during the after Christmas sales and make your own version next year.

I went to hobby lobby and got these paper mache letters. I think they were 2.99 each.


I had some white craft paint, so I painted the sides of the letters with that.

I then went to the scrapbook paper area and spent way too much time looking through all the papers. I selected my paper and used my letters to trace on the back side of the paper.
I did not make the tracing dotted, that's just how the picture turned out.
My paper was 59 cents each and I bought 6 sheets for the fronts of the letters only since the backs of mine would be hidden. You most certainly can do both sides though.



 I then cut out my letters, got out my Mod Podge and glued the paper to the letters.
 

Here's the end result.
