So here I started with wooden letters that I bought at Wal-Mart for fairly cheap. They're pre-primed, so I just went ahead and painted them black.
Here I glued some pretty pink ribbon that just so happened to be the exact height of the letters to the sides with a hot glue gun. :o)
This is what they will look like when done glueing.
All three letters.
This is the first canvas after glueing the paper on. I just used regular 12" scrapbook paper, you can use any color/pattern/style you want, that's what makes it fun! I used aerosol glue and a hot glue gun, but your favorite glue will work just fine. The canvases were just white blank oil paint canvases from Wal-Mart for fairly cheap and you can get them in different sizes if you like. These are 10" I believe. I clipped the corners of the paper and folded them over to give a nice clean look around the edges. I do think however, that I will cover the edges with a black ribbon to give it a more finished look. :o)
This is after glueing the first ribbon to the canvas where the two papers overlap. Again, I used a hot glue-gun.
After the second ribbon. :o)
I decided to give the letters a slight 'raised' effect, so I bought an inexpensive package of 3D-dots from the scrapbook section at Wal-Mart. (give me a break, I work there :oP) Apply these as needed to the back of the letters.
Tada! This is what it will look like from the side.
