- Paper Mache Letters (I used the 12 inch variety. If you go any larger you will have to piece together the 12″ paper.)
- Metallic Scrapbook Paper
- Chalk Paint (I used Chalky Finish in Smitten)
- Craft Scissors
- Craft Knife
- Paint Brush
- Mod Podge
Start by painting the sides of each letter with a paint brush. I also recommend doing around the outer edge of the front surface as well. That way if you don’t cut your paper exactly, your letter will still look great!
Allow everything to dry completely before continuing. Each of my letters needed two coats of paint for complete coverage. The metallic paper pack has a variety of finishes but I used copper for this craft.
Lay the letter upside down onto the back of the paper and trace with a pencil.
Cut the majority of the letter out with your scissors.
Finish any inside areas with your craft knife. Be sure to protect your work surface when using a craft knife.
Apply Mod Podge to the back of the metallic paper. Then apply paper to the paper mache letter. Press down firmly to adhere. Be sure that you do not have Mod Podge on your hands as you don’t want to get any on the metallic surface. Use a rag to press down if needed to keep everything clean.
Weight down your letters as shown during the dry time. This will make sure everything adheres to the surface. 
Use your metallic paper crafts anywhere in your home! My DIY letters ended up in my craft room and look amazing there! The metallic sheen from this paper is something that you will love in your home.
