I think, like me, you all have a lot and lot of alphabet stickers, where always about some letters that we never use.
So today, I want to show one simple way to add amazing texture to a background—and I’m betting you have everything you need right at your fingertips!
Supplies:
- a variety of leftover alphabet (or numeric) stickers
- 4 cardboard strips (11” each one)
- acrylic paint
- foam wedge or foam paintbrush
- cardstock for background
1 - Gather all of your leftover alphabet stickers and sort them by size (small, medium, large).
2 - Start applying random alphabet stickers in the center of your background, starting with the largest alphabet stickers you have.
3 - Continue applying random alphabet stickers, filling in the smaller spaces with your smaller-sized stickers. Don’t worry about trying to coordinate colors next to one another.
4 - Your completely covered background will look something like this.
5 - Now, we’re add some paint. Add three or four small puddles of paint in random places on your alphabet stickers.

6 - Using a foam make-up or a foam paintbrush spread the puddles of paint evenly across the surface of the sticker.
7 - At the end will be so, completely covered with paint.
8 - Once your background is dry, add the cardboard strips. First I took a layer of cardboard and then applied white paint, as shown in the photo, not fully cover.
9 - With strips of cardboard I made a frame on the the background and I trim the edges of the backgorund.
And now it's just decorate!
Have a merry creative day!
