DIY: Initial Letters

What you need:

Cereal box X–acto knife Glue gun Paint or decorative paper (optional)

 

 

Directions:

 

Trace your desired letter backwards and forwards on the cereal box.

 

 

 

 

Cut out both shapes.

 

 

 

 

Cut several long, rectangular strips from the box. They should be an inch or two wide­—these will be the sides of the letter.

 

 

 

Fold the rectangular strips around the edges of one of the letter shapes at a 90? angle. Fold them in so they overlap slightly with the other piece of cardboard; glue with glue gun.

 

 

 

Glue the second letter shape to the edges. Let dry. If desired, paint or decoupage the letter. Place the finished product on your desk and show off your excellent knowledge of the alphabet.
