One of the trends of recent years is to organize themed wedding photography using various accessories, including letters. With their help, you can designate the initials of the bride and groom, lay out the words, as traditional «love», «wedding», «just married», so original wishes or comments.
The letters are made from a wide variety of materials: plywood, plastic, flowers, fabrics, etc. However, the simplest and most easily made at home wedding accessory is letters made of paper. It is enough to choose a thick cardboard for the base and any decorations (from paper or other materials). One of the most spectacular and at the same time simple ways to design letters is sparkles. Today the wedding portal www.articlewedding.com offers you a master class in making shiny letters for a photo shoot.
Materials and tools:
- thick paper or cardboard;
- sparkles, foil or shiny designer paper;
- PVA glue;
- scissors;
- pencil;
- hole puncher;
- wire, wooden stick or thread;
- paper tape.
Detailed instructions:
Draft a lettering design. Transfer the enlarged drawing onto the cardboard and cut along the contour. If you think that the paper is still thin, glue several models, thereby making the letter thicker and stronger.
If you are going to make a letter garland, make holes in the upper part of the letters with a hole punch (two by one part to make it easier to lower the models onto the thread, in addition, they will not rotate, but will be fixed firmly to the threads).
Spread the letters with a sufficiently thick layer of glue. While it is still dry, sprinkle the sparkles on the surface of the parts. Instead of sparkles, you can use foil or special design paper with a pattern. If it seems to you that the sparkle is not enough, repeat the procedure on the dried first shiny layer. And remember, you must first prepare the working area, otherwise then the sparkles will be on the clothes, and on the books, and on everything that was nearby.
Leave the letters to dry well. If after this the edges started «wrap oneself around», put blanks under the press for a day (from books, for example).
Pass the thread through the holes, forming a garland of letters. The second option is to fix the stick or wire on the back with paper tape if you want to hold the letters in your initials. Another easy way to fix letters is to connect them with paper clips or invisible hairpins with a colored ribbon. Everything is ready!
Application options
Shiny letters will be a great accessory for a wedding photo shoot. The site www.articlewedding.com suggests making letters from different colors of sparkles that correspond to the selected base colors of the celebration.
