right up my alley!
found these cute abc's at land of nod...they are only about $9 each..which isn't too bad. unless you need a lot....
i made mine for less than $1 a piece!!!!
(elmer's generously sent me the foam core and the exacto knife and the glue.....so all i really had to buy was the fabric!!!)
i got this great foam core board (that i have been using as a backdrop to take most of my photos...
i sketched out the letters i needed (you could trace them if you are not comfortable free handing it...
then i used this great exacto knife that has an AWESOME grip..and it's pink. win and win.
it cuts through it nice and easy...
unlike scissors.....scissors smoosh it and make it look horrible...(about as horrible as my manicure)
then i wrapped it like a present!
I hot glued the fabric all around..
for circles i cut little pizza pie shapes and folded them all back...
you could do the whole alphabet...
initials..
i hot glues a pop tab so you can easily hang!
hang it on a door..
or a wall..
you could do your family initial...
you could do numbers and use them for photo sessions...
(don't mind my unphotogenic child)
you could write the name on it....
or you could use it as a present topper
and you could do shapes..
warning: SERIOUSLY ADDICTING.

My favorite Elmer's product has got to be the good old washable school glue. We use TONS of it at our house for crafts and home school. Great stuff!

love how you used pop can tabs on the back...I knew there was a reason I was saving those things!
ReplyDeleteI love the idea of present toppers. Okay, and like everyone else said, your pop cap hangers are ingenious!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteI love this idea!! I love the traditional elmer's glue. It's makes the perfect mod podge.
ReplyDeleteclmassia@hotmail.com
I have actually been looking for a cute way to display the alphabet in my toddlers room! This is it:)
ReplyDeleteI would make picture frames AND my girl's names to match!
ReplyDeleteLove this idea! And its many possibilities!
ReplyDeletehttp://threeloudkids.com
love the glue dots - and i think it would be fun to make the foam letters for words - like LOVE or Believe or something alongs those lines!
ReplyDeleteI have been a silent follower of your blog for too long. You make the cutest stuff and I love your awesome tutorials and humor.
ReplyDeleteI use elmers school glue for mod podge and I love the craft bond tape runner and refills, they are great for scrapbooking and all sorts of stuff. If I win I would probably make some picture frames and letters like you did in your girls room, probably not for a name but some type of word in my daughters room and maybe our room too.
i would love to make a door hanging thing with all those fun supplies. i would wrap it in fabric and dress it up with rosettes or buttons.

ReplyDeleteI love the idea of accenting packages with fabric wrapped letters. I'll definitely be trying that out!
ReplyDeleteOoh, I've already pinned your awesome letters. If I could win that awesome prize pack, I'd be one step closer to making some of my own.
ReplyDeleteI can think of about 10 things I could make right now! I love those letters you made. I love those Painters markers too! I have used them a ton over the years. :)
ReplyDeleteI like Elmer's on facebook. :)
ReplyDeleteLove your letters. Since my daughter is 2 and has begun learning letters, I would LOVE to make a full set of letters of the alphabet. I can think of about a million things to do with them. And then we are done with them, I'll donate them to the elementary school kindergarten class to use.

I'm definitely a fan of the adhesive dots, but I like the disappearing glue sticks too, my kids at school use them constantly and they're great!!
ReplyDeleteI forgot to mention that I now like ELmer's on FB and my fav Elmer's product that we use is the School Glue. With three kids, we use it almost daily. Last night we used it to glue Boxtops for Education onto collection sheets.
ReplyDeleteSo simple and yet, so awesome. I love the idea of using them for photo props or for gift toppers - how cute and functional is that??? I want to do lots and lots. That's what I would make. I would totally copy you. And then I would copy Delia and make that personalized family game she made. And then I'd probably paint and texturize a couple and use them for backdrops in photos. Should I keep going?
ReplyDeleteOh, yes, and I cannot forget to tell you. They are cute, but my favoriteist part of this tut? You used POP CAN TABS to hang them!!! Honestly? Genius.
Oooo....I could totally make some letters! Or craft something with the kids! Love this giveaway!

I'm not sure what my favorite product would be, but the painter markers sound cool although I've never used them. I would LOVE to make some of these letters, most likely S A R A H for my daughter and hang them on her wall in her bedroom!!!

ReplyDeleteMy favorite is the regular old Elmer's school glue too! My daughter would glue herself to something if I let her. And me, well, I still like to peel the glue off my fingers like I did back in grade school.

ReplyDeleteI would LOVE the x-acto knife. I have one that I use all the time . . . . but it doesn't work very well . . . . and it's definitely not pink :)

ReplyDeleteI liked elmer's on FB.
ReplyDeleteI would totally use these to make the letters with the child's name on it. I have so many friends having babies right now these would be the perfect gift. Love the soda tab as a hanger too, genious.
ReplyDeleteI would make so many names out of the product I could do them in my sleep! This is such an ingenious idea!
ReplyDeleteAwesome project. Favorite Elmer's product-what if I can't even decide that? So far I love their glue, but those paint markers look like fun.

ReplyDeleteWe're having a baby in Feb which means we're moving my daughter out of the nursery and into a big girl room. I'll come up with tons of projects!
ReplyDeleteI love their All Purpose Glue Sticks. I use it on everything!
ReplyDeleteMy son is away at college and he is living in his very first apartment. He's a 19 year old guy, living away from mom, and studying (ha! lol) around the clock so his apartment is in desperate need of some decor. I would make his name in a masculine fabric for his bedroom and I would make the university logo/initial in fabric that matches the school colors for the common areas of the apartment that he shares with his roomies. =)
ReplyDeleteomg so excited about this!!! I was just thinking about making my niece a hairbow hanger but wanted something more creative than just a wood letter!!! I'm in love with this! favorite elmers? just one really? hmmm hot glue! my hot glue gun is my bff!
