You don’t need to be perfect, you are awesome.

I’ve been on the Creating with Joy Design Team for the past 5 years.

During that time I’ve created all kinds of projects using a large variety of Embroidered Iron-On

letters.  And because I occasionally change my mind of what I want my projects to say,

I have a bag of random letters.

For this month’s Design Team project I decided to use from that bag of random letters.

I gathered my letters together to see what I could spell.

Doesn’t it look like a colorful bowl of Alphabet Soup?

Supplies Needed:

• Random Iron Embroidered Letters
• White Heavyweight Textured Cardstock
• Kraft Cardstock*
• Black Cardstock
• Beacon Adhesives Fabri-Tac Glue*
• 8′ x 10″ Frame
• Ruler
• tape runner
• Removable Painter’s Tape*

To make a Framed Word Art…

• Measure and cut a 8″ x 10″ piece of Kraft cardstock* to fit inside frame.
• Cut a 5 1/2″ x 7 1/2″ piece of white heavyweight cardstock.
• Arrange letters on white cardstock to play with the random letter placement.
• Use a piece of removable painters tape to keep the letters in line.  (just because it’s not perfect doesn’t mean it can’t be straight.)
• Apply fabri-tac glue* to the back of the letters before adhering them to the paper.  (I used my finger tip to rub the glue to the letters.)
• Cut a piece of black cardstock 5 3/4″ x 7 3/4″, adhere finished letter art onto the black cardstock.  Adhere white and black layers onto Kraft cardstock and place inside frame.
• Optional:  Glass in or Out?  I left the glass out of the frame for photography purposed.  I added the glass back in after I was finished taking the picture.

A little matting and a frame and I have a fun inspirational piece of  Random Letter Art.
