Supplies
12″ Cardboard letters
Metal spray paint like Rust-oleum Hammered in Dark Bronze
Bulb string lights
Tools
Drill
Xacto knife/blade
Step 1
With your blade, cut along the outside edge of the letters leaving a small border, using a ruler to ensure a straight line. You might need to clean up the edged after cutting to be sure there are no little paper pieces left behind.
Step 2
Flip the letters over and mark where your lights will go. Drill holes for the bulbs.
Step 3
Spray all your letters! Don’t worry about painting the back.
Step 4
Place the string light bulbs through your drilled holes and attach the string onto the back, securing the bulbs to the letters.
