    Help needed with 'Home' word please

    kittens mini books etc 3371.jpg

    Hi i've bought the 'Home' word from Dunhelm, it had 20% off! (the letters are made from poly resin)
    i want to cover them in lovely paper that matches my house & display it in my hall, can anyone give me any advice on how to attach the paper & keep it on?
    would it be something like Modge podge? which i have never used before. Has anyone got any examples they have done themselves to show me please, thank you so much,

    Hi I'm Leo the NewfyPoo!

    I'd 'rough it up' a bit first with a bit of sandpaper to give it a 'bite' that the glue and paper can cling to.

    My friend Donna ran a class on Tuesday evening using the Home letters from Dunelm. Some of us used PVA others strong glue stick - both were successful. If you want some inspiration take a look at Donna's blog:
