It's WISE to DIY: Thrify Ideas for the Do-It-Yourselfer

She Is Painting This Wooden Letter With Modge Podge And The Result Is AWESOME!

Supplies:

  • Wooden letters
  • modge podge
  • copies of photos
  • brush
  • Sharpie
  • scissors

Directions:

First, color the edges of the letters with a black Sharpie so that the finished product has a polished look.

For the photos, make COPIES of the photos that you want to use as opposed to printing them out directly from the printer.  They will retain their color better over time this way.

Lay out the photos how you plan to place them and cut them up as needed.

Use the modge podge under and over the photos to layer and glue the photos to the letter.

When you are done, let it dry for 30 minutes and then do a final layer of modge podge over the whole thing.

The finished product couldn’t be more personal and charming!
