Cut a square to go over the letter.
Brush the glue over the top and sides.
You’ll have to cut the paper to fit down inside the letter. And then start smoothing down the tissue paper trying to get it all down snugly without any edges sticking up adding more glue as you go. Wrap it around the backside if you need to, it won’t show. I had to go back and add a little more tissue paper to the insides and a couple of corners, but that’s the beauty of this thin paper, you can layer it and it doesn’t show. Try not to touch it too much cause it tends to pull up where your fingers touch. It will have a few wrinkles, but that’s just fine. Let it dry well….
And then find someplace to sit or hang it. This one has hangers, so it may end up on the wall somewhere.
I added it to my office nook wall along with my big “R”. Just thought you’d enjoy this little project with me!
Don’t forget our PARTY this Thursday. The “share your favorite yardsale/thrifting find” PARTY. I’ll post late Wednesday, so that you all can get linked up through Mr. Linky. Click here for all the details! Can’t wait to see all of YOUR finds too.
Hi Rhoda,
Love the letter, Congrats on making the paper again you yardsaling diva and that salad in the post below looks so yummy! I’ve copied the recipe and am going to make it soon for a family gathering!
Have a great week.
Blessings,

Hi, my name is Lana! I stumbled upon your blog and I love it! My fiance and I are currently building a house so I am in the re-decorating phase! I hope you don’t mind if I save your blog and look at it in the future! Your ideas and tips are wonderful!
thanks for the tutorial! i’ve never used mod-podge (gasp!) but I’m now I’ll have to look for a project to try-or a 50 cent letter!
check out my feeble attempt to copy your lampshade on my blog sometime. I’m really happy with it and so thankful for your inspiration.

Hi Rhoda,
Thanks for the instructions on how to decoupage. I’ve never done it before. It looks pretty easy. Thanks for visiting my house tour!
Brandee 🙂

What a fabulous idea, I love it!
Very nice Rhoda. I like the leopord print also.
Hey! Very cool! I will have to try this myself. Next week I have a post scheduled for initials and monograms.
I think they are great gifts and good for spots that you need to fill.
I hope you will come by and see.

Rhonda too cute! Great idea thanks!

Hello Miz Rhoda,
I love Mod Podge, that stuff is great but I never once thought to use tissue paper with it! You’re brilliant and I heart the lepoard print on your letter. I see a copy cat project in my future 🙂 Great tut!
It looks great. I would have never thought to use tissue paper. I’m glad to know it works so well because there is a lot of pretty tissue paper out there.
What a fantastic idea!
I love it! I decoupaged a wooden jewellery box when I was in high school. Took me ages!
Hi Rhoda…I just completed decoupaging a letter K for my DD…I painted the K red and then I used black and white toile tissue…the white completely disappeared so the black design showed up on the red background…very nice!!
Hugs,
Robin
Rhoda, I adore this! I have never decoupaged and now I am just going to have to! Thanks for the tutorial. You make it look so easy!

Rhoda,
first thanks so much for visiting my fledgling blog. I’m having a blast in blogland..I’m sorry it took me so long to find my way here. Second I just gotta say that leopard “M” is ADORABLE. I’m just dying because now I want to run out and find me a big old letter…any letter I’m not picky lol. What a great idea…thanks so much for the inspiration. I’m probably one of the few people on the planet that has never done the decopage thing. I can’t wait to try it out. I hope you don’t mind but I’m gonna add you to my blog list. So I can keep sneaking back here and stealing your ideas :}
Hi Rhoda,
Love the leopard print on the M.
It looks great!!
Congrats on your newspaper article.
It’s so great!!!
Sorry I haven’t been able to visit as often, but I am constantly busy with my artwork these days.

It REALLY turned out so well! We have done just a little, but not anything spectacular.

hey Rhoda, it looks fantastic, I’m amazed how things can be transformed, I’ve never tried Modge Podge, in fact I wouldn’t even know where to start looking for it. I’m gonna have to look out for tissue paper for various projects, I reckon it has many different uses!
i’m in for Thursday, it was a very, very hard choice as I’ve now thrifted so many things in the cottage
Sarah
just beautiful, Rhoda!
