Sprayed Boxed Letters

I got a few questions about how to do the sprayed boxed letters from yesterday's post, so I put together a quick tutorial for you!

1. Choose your letters.

I find that chipboard is fairly durable for spraying and moving around. 

2. Use a ruler to draw a box around your letters on a piece of heavy cardstock.

You could also use a file folder or some stencil plastic.

3. Cut out the box.

Be sure to use a sharp knife and to protect your table with a cutting mat.

4. Set up your letters inside the box you cut out on top of a piece of cardstock.

6. Move the box down and re-set up the letters.  Then spray with another color.
