Sorority Letters

Standard

Difficulty level: Medium

As any sorority girl would know, having a little is a crafter’s dream. It is the perfect excuse to spend way too much money at Hobby Lobby and glitter anything in sight. So when it came to making my little her first pair of sorority letters for her wall, I did my research. Pinterest is filled with many different creative ideas of how to decorate wooden letters and I couldn’t decide on just one, so I combined my favorite examples for a completely unique look.

First, get cardboard letters to spell out the initials of your sorority.  Paint the A and the outer edges of the other letters a metallic purple. Apply three coats of paint to avoid streaks.

When the paint dries, set the letters upside-down on the back of pretty scrapbook paper and traced around the edges.

After very carefully cutting out the letters, use Modge Podge to glue down the paper. Make sure to line the paper up with the edges of the letters perfectly so it looks neat. Repeat this with the last letter and you will be done within 20 minutes.

This is a great craft because it can be personalized to any sorority or simply initials of a name.
