Cory: I forgot that I didn't put details up for this project...:P Process: These are paper mache letters so they have no weight to them. I cut slits in the bottom leg of each letter and inserted old bolts. I filled in the space with glue and covered the hole with glued cardstock and stood them up to dry for a few days. This step made the letters &quot;bottom heavy&quot;. Here's how I decorated the letters: 1) Cover the sides of each letter with paper strips from the BasicGrey Hang 10 collection; wrapping the edges (I cut the strips of paper about 3/4&quot; wider than the letters). I used a glue stick so the paper wouldn't curl and there would be a good bond. Also, I made sure the the strips started and stopped on an edge or in a crevice of the letters. 2) Trace the front and back of each letter onto the backside of a different piece of patterned paper in the collection. Glue into place and carefully trim away any excess paper. 3) Spray every letter with acrylic sealer. I didn't want the ink on the edges to soak into the paper an become too dark. 4) Ink the edges - I used Ranger Distressing Ink which stayed on the the surface (except where the paper had been cut) so your fingers will get stained - fair warning. 5) Spray with acrylic once more to seal the ink 6) Embellish (mine don't have any embelishments because the paper is already busy and the letters are in an area of my home that has enough visual appeal. To get an extra seal on the edges I put a coat of Mod Podge over each letter which dried in a couple of minutes.

So, covered in paper, stamped with alcohol inks and what... stamping ink or walnut ink rubbed on the edges? Gorgeous color palette.
