Framed Pom Pom Monogram


Here is my lovely craft project that I have been working on. I made a big P out of pom poms. 


Here is what I did, I used the Cricuit a while back when my aunt let me borrow hers to cut out a bunch of cute letters, I wasn't sure at the time what I would do with them, but I knew they would come in handy. 


Next I cut out a bunch of squares and glued them to the letters and the parentheses things (what are those things called, brackets??) I used the pom pom technique that I showed you in THIS post, but instead of using circles or flower shapes I just did squares, which is way faster. So I glued them to the letters, and then I had to kinda cut them down a bit too, so that they would kinda outline the shapes a bit more.
Then I had a silver frame that I bought from the dollar store that I had been meaning to use, I painted it black, which actually took a few coats, that silver frame did not want to be painted but it worked and then I put some scrapbook cardstock that I had inside the frame and then glued the letters to the glass. 


It was actually really easy, and didn't take too much time at all. I didn't like it at first when I just had the letters done, but once I got the paper in the frame and the frame painted it really all tied together and looked great. I am really liking it now. 
I also think it would be cute to just cut out the letters and put them on the cardstock in the frame, that could be cute too... I also think I might try making a P out of rosettes...
