Another Letter S

Hi

Where is this year going?  It seems like it was only a few days ago that we were celebrating the new year but it will not be long before I need to start think of Christmas.

These pretty decorated letters make good birthday or Christmas presents.


I purchased an 8 inch MDF letter from Barry on ebay.  I gave it a coat of Gesso and, once that was dry, I painted it pink using acrylic paint.

I also purchased a bag of mixed pink buttons from ebay and used these to cover the painted letter.  You have no idea what you will get in the button bag until you open it, this one had some amazing shapes and textures.  

Finally, once everything was dry, I cleaned the excess glue from the surface.

  1. You really do do these so amazingly well. I love to see how you balance the large and small buttons. I often just sit and look at my lovely"L" and lose myself in it!
