Gather Your Materials

Mod Podge can be pretty messy so it is best to cover your work surface with some newspaper as well.

Paint MOM Lettering

Use the brush and black paint to coat the sides and face of the MOM lettering. I originally thought I had enough photos to cover the face of the letters entirely. Once I realized I was short, I went ahead and painted the face black to hide any gaps.

Paint the Script Letters

Paint the face and sides of the "i love you letters" teal.

Cut Out Your Photos

Cut out all of your photos. Try to make sure you have a good mix of smaller and larger ones.

Mod Podge

Use the Mod Podge to adhere the photos in place. I Mod Podged the back of the photo, set it in place and then coated the face.

All the Photos in Place

Here is how my photos look secured and coated in place.

Remove Overhang

Once the Mod Podge has dried, turn the letters over. Use the razor knife to cut away the portions of the photos that are overhanging.

Second Coat

Apply a second coat of Mod Podge and coat the newly exposed edges.

Attach the Letters

Once the Mod Podge has dried use the craft glue to secure the "i love you" letters in place.

Almost Done

Here is how my letters turned out.

Ribbon

Use the craft glue to attach a piece of ribbon to the right and left corners on the backside. Once it is dry, tie them into a bow.

Check Your Work

Make sure that everything hangs evenly.

Done!

Wrap it up, gift it and enjoy!
