I have loved these letters and have wanted some for my own.
With seeing this handy tutorial
and a few of my tweeks here is how I put mine together.
So watch the tutorial first to get an idea first of what you are trying to do.
Materials
Card board 3-D letters
{I found mine at Joanne's for $3.99 each. They have smaller ones for $2.99 eachI liked the larger ones to be able to use larger lights. For the small letters you could use the small twinkle lights.}
Masking tape
Gold and red spray paint
String of lights
Box cutter
First I cut along the boarder of the top of the letter
Next I cleaned up the inside of the box and made the edging more clean by lining the edge with masking tape.
Next I marked where I wanted to place the light bulbs
and made a hole for each light.
You really could paint whatever color you want.
I chose gold because it would look like more light.
Back
I then painted the outer part of the letter red.
Again pick whatever color you please.
After letting the letters completely dry I poked the
light bulbs through and screwed them into the socket.
front
One all the lights were in the letter I tried to tape or tie down all the extra cord.
Plug into an extension cord and them let the letters shine on
