Select a theme for your letter art project. This could be your name, the name of your favourite city, or solely initials, for example. Creating letter art of a name or initials is a popular project choice, as it can be hung on a door or around the house.
Find paper and craft materials that coincide with the project's theme. If you are creating your own name, for example, find images of your favorite things, and craft supplies in your favorite colors.
Purchase a large piece of poster board or several sheets of construction paper.
Draw the outlines of each letter in 3-D form onto the paper or poster board. Get creative in the fonts that you use. If you have trouble deciding how to draw the letters, use a stencil or download one from a website.
Paste the found images and craft materials onto the interior of your drawn letters. Cut around images to make them fit, so that the each letter is still legible.
Fill any blank space on the letters with drawings and designs done in bright markers or acrylic craft paints.
Use scissors to cut each letter out of the paper or poster board.
Display the letters as is, or paste them to a new backing, such as a piece of poster board in your favorite color.
