one more glitter project

before you put that glitter away. we have one last project to share.
it's very similar to yesterday's project just...  well... a little different.

here's what i used:
-- little wooden letters. $1.99 at hobby lobby. (this week they are even 50% off)
-- cheap 5x7 frames from walmart
-- red glitter
-- red spray paint
-- one sheet of scrapbook paper
-- glue
this project is pretty self explanatory. but here's a quick run down.
i just sprayed my letters.
painted on glue and covered in glitter ... then let dry.

i cut three 5x7 pieces out of my paper.
(i used so sophie,  gracious greenery paper by my minds eye)


then i just stuck the paper in the frame with the glass behind it.
covered the backs of the letters with glue.
and centered them in the frames.
i love the way they turned out!

Oh, I really like this. I just bought some fun chunky frames at the thrift store yesterday that I could use for this project. Love the glitter too. Makes that USA sparkle.

hi, love your ideas. Could you share what you spray paint on ? I've been just using newspaper, but it looks like what you use might be a little less like to stick to the items?

thanks!

So I made my USA yesterday. What is the secret to keeping the glitter on the letters? I used Mod Podge, just 'cause I had it. Is elmer's glue better? And I used the same stuff to adhere the letters to the glass. I even had my husband spray the letters with polyurethane to keep the glitter on, but that didnt' work as well as I had hoped. I am guessing it's the stray glitter coming off, as the letters still look really cute! THANKS!
p.s. And Emelie CUTE idea with LOVE!
