"Laundry" Art

Here is the first of two projects for my laundry room. Yes, it has taken me forever to finish but I promise it doesn't really take THAT long! I had some minor bumps on the road.

This project is what I call "Laundry" art. I went to Hobby Lobby and bought paper mache letters that spelled out the word laundry. Below is a picture of a paper mache letter. They are regularly priced around $2.47 each, but I got them on sale!

Here are the items you will need:
1. Paper Mache Letters (any word you want)
2. Rust-Oleum Spray Paint. (I used Rust-Oleum Hammered in Silver)
3. Scotch Mounting Squares
4. Something to spray paint on

Start in a well ventilated area. Lay your paper mache letters out and spray paint each side. Let dry.

You might have to do several coats depending on the color your chose or if you didn't get all the sides completly covered (you don't have to do the back since you won't see that).

Once all sides are completely coated and dry use the Stotch mounting squares and adhere to the back of each letter. I used at least 2 squares per letter.

Remove the green backing and adhere to your wall. I used a level to make my letters straight, but you could position the letters in many different ways. Here is my final product!
