How to assemble your “GLUE IT” 3D letters.
First, you'll need to gather your supplies.
- Paper
- Glue
- Cutting Machine
- Scissors
- Templates
This is the entire process of how I made this 3D letter sign for crafters to display in their craft room. Let's get started!
Step 1: Cut the file provided. Remember to make sure you resize it proportionally.
Step 2: Prepare the pieces to start assembling, you will need a front and back cut of each letter and as many strips as it takes to go around each.
Step 3: Fold the little tabs on each of the strips
Step 4: Use a your Bearly Art glue to stick the tabs onto the back part of your letters
Step 5: Go all around the letter gluing the strip carefully. NOTE: go slower on the curves
Step 6: Cut the remains of this first strip
Step 7: Glue one strip to another using the little tab at the end of the strip. Continue gluing all around
Step 8: At the end of this section, use a scoring tool (a butter knife would be ok too) to score the folding part. Cut a little bit of the tab if you need to. then fold this part in
Step 9: Put the tabs up to prepare them for the gluing process.
Step 10: Begin gluing!
Step 11: Put the front part of the letter in place.
Step 12: Finally you can decorate the letter with layers and the little cutouts provided. To get a 3D effect, use double sided foam tape.
Place the layer in the front of the offset.
Step 13: Lastly, use your Bearly Arts glue and place all your little pieces down.
This is the final result, isn't it lovely?
