Creative Letter Step by Step

Create a letter style and cut out 2 of them. It must be 2 1/2 inches in width and flat on the bottom edge.

Glue small cups to the letter surface, alternate the standing cups, like this.

Then, glue the top letter form to the cups. Let dry.
With one sided adhesive paper tape, measure the width of your form. Use the marks to make a crisp fold in the tape.

Use a damp, not soaked sponge to get the glued surface of the tape wet. Don't over wet or you will loose the adhesive.

Now, apply to your letter form. The folded edges with match perfectly and look crisp and nice.
For rounded or curved edges, cut your paper/glue strips into segments.

When applying to a curved edge, the pieces will be allowed to overlap making a nice clean edge.

Complete your letter, making it a solid letter form.
Decorate with paper mache, paint, add embellishments and a motto or expressive words. Complete.
