Altered Letters

Sorry that I haven't updated in a long, long time. Working full-time has kind of killed any ambitions I have to do much of anything after work lately.

I altered these letters for my sons a few months ago. I covered the letters in patterned paper in their favorite colors (blue and green) and then picked ribbon I thought they'd like and added that. I modpodged over the paper and ribbon after I was done. If I do this again, I'd modpodge before adding the ribbon, because it made some of the ribbon not stick as well. I had to put heavy things on some of areas to keep the ribbon down.

Otherwise, it seemed the letters turned out okay. The boys seemed to like their new art for their bedroom walls : )


These are the letters before I covered them.
