Tin (faux) Letters

How darling are these JOY "tin" letters hanging from the twigs? 

All you need is some glue, a paint brush, aluminum foil,

and some paper mache letters...

These letters are widely available at craft stores or online...

These 8" letters from Create for Less are less than $2.50 each! 

So, I can't take credit for this lovely little project, my mom made 

the JOY letters and the picture is from her adorable-cute.as.can.be home...

Here's what you do:

tear up pieces of foil, paint glue over the entire surface of the letter 

(a little at a time as you go), adhere the foil to the glued areas, allow to dry,

whalla you have some cute little faux "tin" letters!
