Scrapbook Paper Covered Letters





While meeting and getting to know my new granddaughter, Molly Murphy Tracey, these past three weeks, I had plenty of time to decorate letters spelling out "Molly" with scrapbook paper. I usually hand paint letters for my clients, but I didn't have any of my paints or brushes with me on this trip.


Molly's mom and I went to Hobby Lobby to pick out the letters and paper.


Turning the paper over, I traced out the letters before cutting out each letter.



I also used white and black paints, Mod Podge and some brushes.




I painted each letter white and added black stripes on the edges to add a little dimension.


Using the Mod Podge I glued the scrapbook paper to the front of each letter.


I added some bright ribbon with hot glue to the back of each letter and hung them on the wall over Molly's changing table.  She seems to love looking at them while Mommy or Daddy change her!
