DIY - Decorate Wooden Letters Part II

Hello again!
Good news, I've finished Pamela and another project I didnt tell you about, it's Te Amo (I love you), it is a gift for a friend's boyfriend.
I am pleased with Pamela, I love the papers!! Check them out:







Pamela's nursery is painted in a violet color, that's why the back of the letter is painted in lilac. I tried my hardest to find purple paper here in ES but it was nearly impossible, so I had to improvise a little.
Tips;
- On the first "A" I used common/plain paper, it had no patterns no drawings on it. A few months ago, I found this beatiful Rub-on package with a Shopaholic Theme and I thought I would never use it, well, I did and it looks so awesome, really!
- On the last "A" the little pink dots where made by me, with a paper hole punch so dont be afraid to add that little extra on the letters, it will look great!
- All of the letters have glitter on it (dots, flowers, stripes), you can try Tulip Glitter Multi Surfaces Diamond in 3D, it looks so beautiful.
- Apply a thin protective coat (spray) when finished, it will make them last forever.
- If you're still not sure how to make these letters, go to my previous posts, I will guide you step by step.

And here are the other letters I've been working on this week, it was a gift for my friend's boyfriend (they were celebrating their 6th month... anniversary?). These wooden letters were also made by my father and if you might know, I'm growing a small bussiness out of wooden letters, they're certainly uncommon here in my country and people love them! I am working on some other projects as well, I have to deliver them next week so I'll be veeery busy (and my dad as well) hahaha.


Same thing with the "e", all the red dots were made with a hole puncher and then again, added glitter on them. I loved the "A", those tiny red hearts look adorable, and well, I guess the masterpiece is the "m" and quite a challenge as well, I had to cut every single stripe to make that plaid pattern but it was totally worth it. Remember, you can make your own embellishments and make them 3D by adding double coated paper tape. You can also add a small name tag and write a message.

This week I'll be making:
- Ana Sofía (Garden Theme/Yellow)
- Sophie (Princess Theme/Pink)
- André (Animals Theme/Light blue).

I'll be uploading those pictures next Sunday. Looking forward to it!!
