My Front Door Decor

I love this craft of mine.






Y'all may not agree but just in case I'll show you how I did it.



I read I needed to use these 3D paper mache letters.....




However Hobby Lobby only sells these ones that are 6 inches tall.  I needed my "B" to be about 10 to 12 inches tall. So I had to improvise. So I clued 4 of these letters together in order to get a comparable thickness.



I then bought twine, mod podge glue and ribbon.

Its sideways... I know I am sorry
still sideways... sooo sorry. Note that the mod podge is matte

 It takes a little bit to figure out how you want go about wrapping the letters. But after that you just get started.

First you cover a small area with modge podge. Then wrap the part covered in glue with your twine.





Do this little by little but after you complete a little piece go back over what twine you have attached with Mod podge. So you will have glue holding the twine to the letter and glue over the twine. You may need to take a second to hold the twine down until it sticks with out assistance.




 then just keep moving on....

and on.....


then when you finish wrapping coat it lightly in mod podge for good measure....


After it dries hot clue what ever flowers or whatnot's you wish to decorate it with. It would be really cute with the felt flowers. That will be what I put on mine next. Then you staple the ribbon to the back to hang it from.

Wallah....


This is my inspiration. I think I did pretty good.
