Amazing! How is the tabletop supported in the back?
That looks great!
Thank you!
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.
Great tutorial. Thanks for sharing. Be blessed.
Thank you!!
I love this& i wanted to share to wear a mask whenever you use the e6000 glue. My mom's friend used that glue religiously because of her shoe bling business. She had been experiencing really intense head aches& went to the dr to see what was wrong.. She had developed cancer due to the fumes..
Deseray Marshay omg. That’s scary. Thank you for sharing. We’ll definitely use a mask from now on. Prayers for her health.
Highly Favored Events thank you& no problem💗
Omg I so love you for this! One day I will have time to try this for my treat table set ups
Thank you. It's definitely time consuming. Good luck!
Great Job 👍👍 Thanks for being so detailed !!!
Thank you so much for this tutorial!
How did you repair the "E" when it had a little dent imperfection? I love, love, love this video. Thank you. I am thinking of just doing the word "LOVE", for multipurpose use. Valentine's Day, "LOVE" Candy Bar, "LOVE" beverages or food, etc.
We just left it as is. Because it had the vinyl over the front of the letter it’s went unnoticed. Thanks for watching!
This is an amazing and thorough tutorial. Thank you for sharing. Newbie following 💚
That'z Uneek Thank you!!
Absolutely amazing! Thanks for sharing!
this is a work of art, with simple products and the outcome is lovely... thank you for your tutorial :)
Simplicity is key. Thank you!
Wow looks great. I would cut the foam in a well-ventilated area or wear a mask. Burning/melting foam put off gas to is not healthy to breath in.
dsmmike95 great suggestion. We had the fan on with windows open in a pretty big space. But def had strong fumes going on.
Hey beautiful thanks.... what size hot pen do you have and do it smoke bad? What company is it by? Can you use it on a foam board ..... I got a lot of bad reviews on the one from Joanns and Michaels
This is amazing - Thank you !
Amazing , I love it , you made it look so easy with this step by step video . Thank you 🙏
dananaz12 thanks love. Good luck!
Thank youuuu for the inspiration & instructional
Thanks love, anytime!
What size glass top did u have
Nice! What are the proper measurements for the glass
Do u have to glue the cups together before gluing them to the letter?
Thank you for this video you don’t know how much you helped me other you tubers make you try to guess with their limited instruction you are the best thanks again 🥰
Awesome! Thanks for watching.
Highly Favored Events where did you purchase the plexiglass and what length and thickness did you use? Thanks!
Wow thats a lot of work 👌🏿
Yes. Yes, it is.
Thank you for sharing!! 💕 I have a question, how do you cover the paper cups on letters that contains curves such as S or U?
Santera Edwards Hi! Due to the font these letters are angled and not curved so there’s no issues.
Thank you for replying!! 💕
Thank you.
Great Job! Thanks for sharing!
Where did you get your plexiglass and how many pieces did you use?
love this....i want to make a 2 giant 50's. Will 2 boards be enough?
Yes ma'am. We used 4 boards for 7 letters
Very nice,I just use heavy duty strong paper boxes.
From where? Sounds pricey.
Great tutorial, thanks for sharing!
omg... that is awesome.... great job... such creativity
Sharonda Laidback Thank you kindly.
Highly Favored Events .... you are very welcome....
Thank you for sharing this!
Thanks for the video! Would you be able to paint these? If so what kind of paint
Sheila Machuca We do not have any recommendations. Just check to see if the paint can go on styrofoam.
Love it girl, you got it going on.
Thank you so much!
Will definitely try this project, I will be saving hundreds of dollars. You've gained a subscriber!
Awesome. Thanks love!
Hello can we make the 3D giant letters without using the foam cups inside? Or it won’t hold the cake? And can we replace the plexiglass on top with a normal foam board because it is cheaper
This is so amazing!!!! Thanks for sharing!!
Sade Tyson Thanks for watching!!
Absolutely Beautiful!!!😍
So this foam would actually hold the glass down without falling apart?
BrayDiva yes ma’am. We tested it for a few hours the day before the event. Day of it had all those treats for about 3-4 hours before they started taking them.
I'm sure it's probably plexiglass. I wouldn't do real glass. Too heavy.
So 1st i love video... my 50th bday party coming my name has 7 letters So I wanted to make sure that I had the measurements correct because on the video you actually said 32 inches tall in the comments it says 18 by 30 which is the correct measurement? Also am I to understand that I can use Those letters as the actual legs of the table if I buy a sheet of plexiglass? Also will that 18 x 30 /32 will work with like 8ft table with legs will it fit like yours under a table?
Beautiful work. Can you tell me the measurements of the plexi glass..like the thickness width/length?

What measurements did you use for the pixie glass . I made mines 36in tall and about 8X16 wide. What what measurements do you suggest for the pixie glass ?
Great tutorial, thank you for sharing.
Omg I think I can do this I seen a table for a first birthday ONE letters and I loved it my grandaughters turning 1 in 2 weeks I would love to do this. My question is where to get the top part of the table?
This maybe a stupid question but did you just measure to get the right cuts to go around the to cover the cups?
Also can paint these so it can be different colors
And what’s the adhesive called from amazon?
Yes ma'am. I just forgot to record that part. Ensure the paint can go on Styrofoam and you'll be good to go.
I love your video it was very detailed! Is it possible to paint the foam if so what paint would you recommend?
Thanks love! I'm not sure about the paint. I've read that sometimes it'll eat the paint and to get a foam hardener and then pain. But the hardeners are expensive too. So that's why we just used the decal.
Highly Favored Events ok thanks and yes I rather use decal to that way it looks great and can save money!!
Love it u go gurl thanks for sharing 😊😁
Thanks for watching love!
Thank you for the guidance
Thanks love!
Great tutorial! Thank you
Gloria Dominguez thank you!
Great video and job. Looks wonderful. Tfs
Crown of Elegance thank you!
Beautiful
Thanks!
Awesome. Do you know the thickness of the chosen foamboard you have?
Yes, 0.75 in
This is great ! Off hand do you know how many boards I would need for a three letter word ?
Thank you so much for watching our video. I would say 2 just to be safe but typically 1.
Looking for a update from someone who tried it! How sturdy was this for a candy table ?? 👀 or any table in general ..
So did you apply the vinyl wrap adhesive 1st? Cut it and then apply the acrylic plexiglass sheets then cut in the shape of the letter?
Cut the letter first. Then applied vinyl wrap adhesive and use the cutter to cut it to the shape of letter. The plexiglass was the tabletop and didn't nee anything done to it.
Highly Favored Events thank you. Are you guys still doing Vlog’s
@@medabrittman Unfortunately we've been busy and haven't had an opportunity to upload. Are you interested in something in particular?
Highly Favored Events No. just appreciated your video. Very helpful. However I did want to ask in order for the letters to stand the bottom has to be straight and not rounded, correct? Did you cut the bottom of the letters straight across?
