A paper craft request Ok- ignore the lazy cat in the background! ha!

I painted these flowers and such on this

metal "S" years ago.
I love it but want a new look -temporarily.

Below is a step by step tutorial

if you want to make a similar one

I used chipboard that comes from the back of some paper packs.

Sometimes, when you buy paper from Archivers they put

your paper between these sheets of chipboard.

To get the large monogram you can enlarge your letter on word processor.

Then adhere it to the chipboard.

Trace it.

Cut it!

Cut out letter from your choice of paper.

Glue patterned paper on chipboard

I then sanded the edges using sand paper. You

can use a sandblock or even a sand nailfile.

I used removable Glue Dots so when I'm sick

of this look I can remove it off of the metal letter.

Embellish! Embellish! Embellish! Few other ideas:

If you don't have a shape (metal or paper mache) to put the paper on

but you have the chipboard -do the same steps but mount

it on matboard, foam board, poster board and frame it. Put multiple letters on painted wooden blocks.
