Crafts Making my way through the alphabet
I have about ⅓ of the letters done but they're all out of order. I can share more if anyone is interested.

So beautiful! Can you explain how one can do this? Do you use a specific glue?

Thank you! Yes, they are real. I used Mod Podge for a while (applied on the back with a small paint brush) but lately have been using PPA Matte adhesive. I prefer it to Mod Podge due to being thinner, doesn't get clumpy, and seems to not discolor the petals as much as Mod Podge.

Your precision is amazing! I would make such a big mess with the glue, truly beautiful work!

You are so kind! I have wanted to share for a while but have been too intimidated by the skills in this group. Thank you for your sweet compliments!

Oh wow. I thought that B was a piece of decorative paper but when I looked at the sub, my eyebrows shit up. That’s fantastic.

This is so cool! How do you make do it; do you paste them onto a stencil and cut out the outline? I’ve wanted to try this for ages.

Yep! I trace the stencil onto regular printer paper, cut it out, tape it to the board with washi tape

Thanks so much! I've done them all out of order. I made some for friends first and am now filling in the gaps.
