Love Letters

Literally- that’s what they are.  This project was for ME, I need some valentines decorations.  Unfortunately, it took the whole month of January to get time to finish them so they won’t get to be up for very long but I’ll have them for years to come.  Sorry the pictures aren’t great- I always finish projects in the dark of night and there’s never any good natural light. 
January 083 I just took wooden letters and covered them in papers and ribbons and accessories and anything else I could get my hands on.

I love using fibers- I think it really adds a lot of dimension.  The dotted paper on the right is flocked so it’s nice and soft.

January 093
I wanted to try and get a pic of the glitter.  I covered the edges in hot pink German Glass Glitter.  More on that later but it makes for a super glittery edge- I just love it!

You can check out more of my letters HERE or HERE.

    Super cute. What puts it over the top is the glitter on the sides. Great job!
