Materials

Instructions

  • Trace the letter shapes onto the scrapbook paper with the pencil and cut out with scissors. Cut two letter shapes for each ornament.
  • Cut a piece of twine long enough to go around a tree branch using the scissors.
  • Place Mod Podge on the surface of the letter with a paintbrush. Add one end of the twine to the Mod Podge before placing the paper down.
  • Place the paper down on the letter and Mod Podge and smooth. Let dry.
  • Flip the ornament over and repeat. Make sure that the twine creates a single loop. Let dry completely.
  • Add 2-3 coats of Mod Podge to seal, making sure to let the letters dry completely between coats.
  • Lay a small pile of glitter on a piece of paper. Add Mod Podge to a portion of the letter edge and dip into the glitter. Let dry and repeat until covered.

Notes

For the smaller nooks of the letters where a foam brush won't reach, use a small paintbrush or Q-tip to apply the Mod Podge.
