Ingredients
- Wood Monogram Letter
- Washi Tape

Instructions
Washi Tape:
- Begin by adding strips of washi tape to the wood letter. Laying the next strip right next to the one above.
- Place the letter on its front, and go around the edges with a sharp craft knife to trim the washi tape to the shape of the letter.
Adhesive Gemz:
- The sheet of adhesive Gemz cuts apart easily with a pair of scissors.
- Cut a couple of strips with a single line of Gemz, and apply them to the front of the monogram letter.
Mod Podge:
- Apply a coat of Mod Podge with a foam brush or paintbrush.
- Let the Mod Podge dry completely.
Letter Edges:
- Measure the width of your letter to see how many strips of Gemz will fit.
- The width of my later fit a double strip of Gemz perfectly, so I cut them into strips that were 2 Gemz wide.
- Adhere the strips all the way around the letter edges. Don't forget the spot inside the letter too!
