Materials needed:
Wooden contact paper: Mr. DIY (RM 4.90)
Hot glue gun (with approx. 10 gluesticks)
Scissors
Blade

Step 1:
Create a template of your choice (It could be a letter, icon, shape or anything your heart desires!).
Step 2:
Trim the contact paper according to the size of the mounting board.
Step 3:
Attach the contact paper onto both sides of the mounting board.
*Tips: Pull back the first 2 inch of the backing, lay the contact paper onto the surface. Slowly pull away the backing while you run a ruler or straight edge along the surface to push out the air bubbles as you go along (same method used in the previous DIY).
It should look like this.
Step 4:
Outline and cut according to the template.
Step 5:
Turn the letter over with the back facing up, draw a line down the center of the letter.
Then, use a pencil to mark where you need to create holes for your fairy lights. Mine was approx. 6cm apart.
*Tips: Start with the corners and edges of the letter, then measure and mark inwards evenly apart for a neater outlook.
Step 6:
Create holes as marked to fit the fairy lights.
Step 7:
Create strips of 7cm width. These will go around the letter and will help them stand.
Step 8:
Surround and trim the strips to fit the parameter of the letter. Bend the strips if necessary.
Step 9:
Attach contact paper on both sides of all strips.
Step 10:
Attach the letter onto the center of each strips.
*Tips: Use a tape to temporarily secure it's position before proceeding to hot glue. It also helps to hold it's position while the hot glue dries.
Step 11:
Insert fairy lights.
DONE!
Go creative and customize them in different designs, prints and sizes too!
