Let's Begin

When painting the fall letters, it is not necessary to do a perfect job. The purpose of painting is to add a pop of color; it will be covered with paper later on. This paint dries extremely fast as well. Drying time is 5 minutes.

While you are waiting for the paint to dry, start picking out your supplies or thinking of where you want to place your embellishments.


After you have painted all the letters {remember they dry extremely fast} you can begin working on each letter.

The letter F

Place Mod Podge using a brush on the back of the Moxxie Season Of Change Splash of Spice papers then adhere to the letter F. Adhere Mod Podge using a brush to the top of that to ensure sticking.
