Alphabet letters

I saw in a book that they made alphabet letters 3D.  I thought it looked like fun so decided to do some.  I finished one for Heidi and myself.  Still have to work on Ayden's.  I think I will finish his for his birthday.  First you find alphabet letters on the internet that look interesting.  Print one copy of it and then trace around it on two pieces of cardboard.  So you have two copies of the letter.  Then you cut strips of cardboard for the sides.  I cut them 2" wide.  You take some masking tape and tape the side pieces to the two letters a little bit at a time.  After I finished taping the letters together I put a surface coating on the letters.  Kind of to mask the tape.  Then I spray painted them and glued some pictures on them.  After I put the pictures on, I then mod podged them to hold them in place.  On Heidi's I found some cute pictures of owls.  She's really into them and on mine I used pictures of shoes.
