DIY Burlap Wrapped Foam Letters #makeitfunAs part of the Make it Fun design team I was challenged to take a box of FloraCraft supplies and turn them into some fun Halloween Decor. We not only had to use the Styrofoam that was included, but somehow also include one of following: Burlap Garland, LED Light Strands, LED Lighted Branch.

I ended up making a couple of fun items that could be used inside or out and are super simple to make! Let’s take a look, shall we?

First up, I will show you how to make these super easy, and inexpensive Styrofoam Burlap Wrapped Letters:

Supplies:

How to make foam letters11×17 Styrofoam Sheet

Letter Stencils

Knife or Styrofoam Cutter

Burlap

Plastic Spiders (optional)

Styrofoam Glue or Hot Glue

Foam Letters TutorialFirst, either create your own letters and print them out, or download my “E & K” Stencil. Cut them out and lay them on your styrofoam. Using a pencil, carefully trace around the stencil.

DIY Foam LettersUse a knife or styrofoam cutter to cut the letters from the sheet of foam – definitely do this outside if possible… it can get messy!

DIY Burlap Wrapped LettersNow it’s time to wrap the letters with the burlap. I folded the burlap garland in half and wrapped it around the letters, it took a bit of working to get it the way I liked. Just take your time. I used glue to secure it as I went.

DIY Burlap Wrapped LettersAfter your letters are wrapped, add plastic spiders (mine were rings – I just cut off the ring part) as desired and you are done!DIY Foam Halloween Decor Ideas
