I have 4 of these white beautiful frames. They were for my kids individual pics. But now I have 5 kids, and only 4 frames, so I need to rearrange, and buy 5 new frames for my kids. So here is a project with one of the 4 frames I get to play with. I found this pretty letter "A" at hobby lobby for around $4...actually $2 since everything on the store is always 50% off. (why they can't just mark all the prices down 50% all the time, I will never know, but that is another post....)
I got some white spray paint, actually it is called heritage white (I think) and sprayed. You have no idea how much spray paint this little bugger took...it probably increased the price of my letter back up $3. I probably sprayed 8 coats. Next time primer right?
Then I got me some gorilla glue because girls at this site shanty2chic are having a little gorilla glue party. I used gorilla glue "wood glue." And you know how I love me a party...and a new product. So I joined in.
I just did the mod podge strait onto the 5x7 glass. I did a cute damask brown paper. Mod podged the top of the paper and let it dry. The did the gorilla glue to the letter and smacked that baby down....and here you have the final product!!!
See...hanging on the wall! Do you love it? Don't tell me if you hate it, it may hurt my feelings for a day. I love the 3D letter.
And I am super proud, because this project I invented from my head and didn't even steal anyone else's idea (like I have been known to do.)
Hope you enjoyed, now go get your craft on. We would love more followers, and we read each and every comment you guys leave us. Thanks for all the support and love!

Visiting from the Gorilla Glue party...I love your project! I have seen those letters at Hobby Lobby and never had any ideas for what I could do with them. Now I have some inspiration! :)

I absolutely love this! I'm so jealous of all of you that are able to shop at Hobby Lobby. we don't have one out here :( looks like they have great stuff there. Hopefully we will get one here soon!
This is a great idea! So fun!
I think you did a fabulous job...the frame and the letter really compliment each other. I love it!

It's awesome! I love that you glued everything right to the glass. Now if only I had a Hobby Lobby! Hear that Hobby Lobby come to California. It's only a huge state with tons of people!
That is so cute. I saw those same letters in Hobby Lobby and picked them up but then put them back after I realized I didn't have a clear idea of how to use them. I may have to pick them up again next time. Great job!
Oh I love this! Monograms are my favorite! Great job.
What a cute project- I love the chucky letter you used! Where did you get that?

So freaking cute! I love it - need me a 3D letter now!!!
It is stunning, I saw it in person, and it sort of draws you in because it is 3-D. Great work fifi!
Fabulous! I love the detail on that letter.
You have left me no option, but to steal your idea! I need to look for a pretty letter.
That's some serious 3D awesomeness...Great project, and I totally need to invest in some modge podge!

I love it too, duh, but....what does the A stand for? Just wondering...can't wait to move INTO hobby lobby one day...

I LOVE THIS!!!!!!!!! It looks absolutely gorgeous! I love using My last name first initial around the house! I so wish I had a Hobby Lobby around so I could get one of those!
Love it! Love that letter, too. We don't have Hobby Lobby here and Michael's doesn't carry as nice letters.
The BEST! Totally want some! Cool easy project.
That's great! Very creative project.
Just stumbled upon your blog... what fun letters! I really like them. Wish I had a Hobby Lobby nearby.
Congrats on winning the Gorilla challenge!

Love this!:)
I DO love it and am so envious of crafty people! It would make a great shower gift for a bride to be--they love things with their new initial!
I love your blog! I'm your newest follower :)
I like your letter art. I like to make unique art pieces too and it's fun to say "it's my own creation".
Love that you came up with this idea and it turned out so cute! Good job...

Love it! That is so cute, Shelby just moved downstairs, maybe she needs one! Any new patterns floating around in that crafty brain of yours?

Very pretty. :) My "party" is actually for bloggers to list things they are thankful for...I guess if a picture frame is something you are thankful for today, then it will work... ;) I'll leave your link up...
I LOVE this and hope you will post it to my Its So Very Creative party. I am going to follow you and hope you will come by and follow me too
