"E"nstructions

So here’s the deets on the “E” that I decoupaged … which is funny since Miss Dub starts with an “M.”

1. Go to JoAnn’s. Somewhere in the store, they sell letters. Find the size and shape you like. I bought a mid-sized, carboard “E.” It was, like, a couple dollars or sumptin’.
2. Somewhere nearby, buy some mod podge. I like the matte finish but go glossy if you’re feeling fancy!
3. If you’re lacking in paper, stop by the scrapbooking section and pick up some. I went for mellow tones with a blend of patterns and styles.
4. Proceed to checkout.
5. Drive home safely.
6. Once home, cut the paper into strips of varying sizes. Try to roughly plan out where the papers will go to create a diverse pattern. Or, be impatient like me and pay the price when you have to put a paper twice in the same area.
7. Use mod podge to line the back of paper. Wrap around the letter, pulling tight as you do. This gets tricky on the corners (depending on the letter). Just be creative – as in, glue a paper around the ends first, then wrap paper as normal on top of it. (Does this make any sense? If not, just try your own method.)
8. After all the letter is covered in paper, apply mod podge over the entire letter.
9. Let dry.
10. Hang somewhere with poor lighting … that way if you made any mistakes no one will see them.
11. Never follow directions from Mrs. Dub again. She’s a kook!
