Necessary materials
  • Corrugated cardboard (dispose of household packaging for this purpose).
  • Scotch tape (you will need both double-sided and simple ordinary adhesive tape).
  • Stationery knife.
  • Scissors.
  • Pencil.
  • Ruler or tape measure.
  • Professional marking board.
  • Scrapbooking paper or beautiful colored paper.
  • Any decoration elements that match the colors and themes of the celebration.

Stages of creation

  1. Use a professional marking board or a regular ruler to correctly indicate the dimensions of the workpieces. Having decided on the desired size, draw the figures with a simple pencil on cardboard. Then you need to cut the workpiece with a sharp clerical knife. We will need two details for each letter, so we need to make them in two copies at once.

  1. Measure the length of each side of the workpiece around the perimeter. We cut the sides: the thickness can be any, we will make them 5 cm thick. To do this, we cut out cardboard strips of the required length 7 cm wide, leaving a centimeter of allowances for bending on each side. Bending the allowances with your hands, glue them to one side of the base with double-sided tape, forming the sides.
  2. We attach the second side of the letter to the sidewall and also glue it on the tape.
  3. We use ordinary adhesive tape to fasten the part in arbitrary places for reliability.
  4. We decorate the resulting workpiece according to our own taste and desire.

A simple and quick way to design a blank is to attach it to beautiful paper (you can use bright wallpapers for this), circle the shape with a pencil, adding a few centimeters on each side for bends. Cut the paper with scissors and glue PVA glue to the cardboard blank. Let the glue dry, then additionally decorate the facade with lace, beads, pearls, artificial flowers.

Common variants of words with volume letters for a wedding photo shoot: love, married, wedding, happiness, love, happy, just married, amore, amour. Phrases also look beautiful in pictures «I agree», «Forever», «Yes, I do», «A family». Exquisite inscriptions with signs of the equation look, for example, «Masha + Sasha = Love» or inscriptions «Husband» and «Wife» with arrows pointing towards the heroes of the photo shoot.
