3D “L-O-V-E” Letters – Styrofoam Wall Art tutorial

Still looking for an inexpensive spring decorative craft idea? This project is super easy and inexpensive and a beautiful large statement any wall any time, but perfect for seasonal (SPRING!).

What I used:

• Styrofoam sheets (4 – 12″ x 12″ x 1″ and 1 – 18″ x12″ x 1″)
• Scrapbook paper (I used 4 12″ x 12″ and coordinating scraps)
• Ribbon (I used 1″ wide and I’m not sure of the amount…have a couple of spools handy just in case.)
• Low temp hot glue gun/glue
• Scissors or serrated knife
• Xacto knife (optional)

1. I started by using hot glue to attach ribbon to the sides of each of my four 12 x 12 Styrofoam panels. I also used thumbtacks to help hold in place.
