Place the photo down on the Mod Podge and gently press it down. Paint a thin layer of Mod Podge over the letter where the picture is going to go. If you aren’t quite so picky you can just overlap your photos to save time. That made the project take a little bit longer. NOTE: I trimmed each photo so none of the pictures on my letter would overlap. Determine if you need to trim any portion of the first photo to make room for the second picture (I cut about an inch off the bottom of the picture I’m holding above). Place the picture back down on your letter and grab your next photo. Turn the letter back over and remove the photo.

Then flip the letter over and trace around it on the back of the picture. You can use a paintbrush to dab a bit of mod podge on the photo and stick it to the letter. Start with the first photo and place it where you’d like it to go. Snap a picture with your phone that you can refer to as you start adhering photos. Next, lay out photos on top of each letter and determine which photos you want to go where. You could also use spray paint if you wish. The first step is to paint the sides and backs of your paper mache letters.

4×6 photos: most letters will take 5-7 photos but print extras to have options.

Paper mache letters: I used 12 inch letters found at JoAnn’s.
