Supplies:
- cardboard
- gold discs – we used 40 mm sequins
- gold thumb tacks
- gold Krylon paint
Steps:
1. Sand and prime your wooden letters. Then spray them, making sure to cover sides as well.
2. Starting at bottom, cover letters with discs and thumb tacks. Push thumb tacks 1/2 way the top hole only in so discs can move freely side to side (movement gives it a 3-dimensional quality that makes it more interesting).
3. Add a new row directly above the bottom row, covering the thumbtacks. Where possible, keep the columns and rows straight.
Can you believe – that’s it! The only tedious part is that it takes some time to push the thumb tacks in (my thumbs actually got a little sore, so I used a thimble). Other than that, this is a very simple project. Consider it a weekend undertaking and catch up on some movies, football, or a tv series. I have a few I can recommend – any you are liking lately?
