Every letter will need to be wrapped with jute. It goes like this: wrap, glue repeat...wrap, glue repeat. This is a very time consuming a tedious process (easy, but takes a while). I worked for several days. I had to put it down and come back to finish. My friend Kori said her mom made jute wrapped vases back in the day, so I guess this isn't exactly a new idea. Embellish your letter with whatever you want. A easier and faster idea would be to spray paint your letters, maybe next year.
Oh well, so much for next year! Here is a bronze painted letter wiped with taupe paint with hand-made paper stars wiped with ink.
