  • This video is about how to make jumbo sized letters out of styrofoam board to use as decor prop for ANY event. These letters were made for a sweet table. This is a DIY for those who need a cost effective method on obtaining the jumbo letters for a one-time use.
    Although our letters are the most cost effective option, we recommend vendors who make letters using foam block or wood. For those vendors, please email us at highlyfavoredeventsonline@gmail.com. Thanks for watching! God bless.
    WE DO NOT SELL THESE LETTERS!!!

    And what’s the adhesive called from amazon?

      Larica Curry thank you. The plexiglass is just sitting atop the letters. The letters are wide enough to hold it on its own without securing it.

  • @polorozay9652
    @polorozay9652 Год назад

    When you download the front to computer what did you take to staples for them to print and what size did you tell staples you needed.
