Recently our cousin got engaged and we saw this really cute item and knew that we can make it ourselves! Except in the original it was made of wood and we decided to use foam to be more cost effective & easier to work with than wood.
This is the outcome:
We used white glitter foam with a purple foam strip. For the letters we used glitter glue. You can use puffy paint, which I think will look better, but we were going for the glitter look and glitter glue seems to do the trick best. We also think that cardstock letters will work great, but we didn't have the proper glue. We also facebook stalked her so that we can print out these wonderful pictures of the happy couple.
You can see the purple string on the top corner, that was our main string that we used so that she can hang the poster to her wall, or anything that she wants to.
After we wrote with the glitter glue, we made sure we gave it at least 1 day to dry! We wanted to make sure that it was fully dried before we used a purple pen to define the letters.
This is our wonderful square charm that we cut from 0-9. This worked so great with a simple fabric string that we can puncture with the colored tab to the foam. We did these numbers so that she can keep herself organized and to know how many days she has left because weddings can be so time consuming and its easy to get caught up with 1 project when there is a whole wedding to plan. Our cousin works full time & goes to school part time, so organization is a MUST! The numbers are easy to handle and change and to pin on and off . . . all of the above!
We hope that you like this and hope that you are inspired to make something great for someone. Check out our Etsy Store to see if there is anything that you can use for your next project!
