What you will need:
- A wooden or cardboard letter in your desired size (you can find these at your local craft store, like Joann's, Michael's, Hobby Lobby, etc.)
- Lots of fake flowers
- A hot glue gun with lots of glue
- (optional) Clear rhinestones
- (optional) Ribbon
- (optional) Paint
How-To:
Step 1: (optional) Paint your letter a color close to your flowers or white if your flowers are multi-colored. This makes the letter look more "finished" once you're all done putting on all of the flowers, because you may be able to see some of the original letter peeking through.
Step 2: Remove the fake flowers from the stems. They usually come off, but sometimes I find that cutting them off is easier. Be careful with them once you've removed them because you don't want all of the petals to come apart!
Step 3: Think of how you would like to lay out your flowers. What I did was rationed my largest flowers (in this case they were the blue roses) and placed them where I wanted them to go. It's much easier to move around the smaller flowers than the bigger ones!
Step 4: Glue down your flowers. You may need to cut a bit of where the flower attached to the stem first, but not always. I personally prefer to put the glue on the flower then stick it to the letter because it gives me more control over what I'm doing. Keep doing this until all of your flowers are glued down.
Step 5: (optional) If you like sparkles, you can glue a rhinestone to the center of all of your flowers! Put a dot of hot glue in the middle of the flower you'd like to put a rhinestone in then press it on. I did this on all of my flowers except for the ones that were too small.
Step 6: (optional) Glue the ends of two pieces of ribbon to the back of the letter equidistant from the edges. This may be tricky depending on what letter you're doing. Once they're glued on there, you can tie the ribbon in a bow so you can hang your letter on a wall. If you don't want to hang your letter, you can also just set it on a table or shelf or lean it up against something!
