WOW!!!!
That turned out sooo
Beautiful...
Judi Christopher thank you!
this is a work of art, with simple products and the outcome is lovely... thank you for your tutorial :)
Simplicity is key. 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!
Wow, end result came out great!
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!
Amazing , I love it , you made it look so easy with this step by step video . Thank you 🙏
dananaz12 thanks love. Good luck!
Thank you for sharing. Blessings
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.
This is an amazing and thorough tutorial. Thank you for sharing. Newbie following 💚
That'z Uneek Thank you!!
This is soooo awesome! Excellent job!!!!!!
Tricia Vicks 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.
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?
Great tutorial. Thanks for sharing. Be blessed.
Thank you!!
Thank you.
Thank you so much for this tutorial!
That looks great!
Thank you!
Will definitely try this project, I will be saving hundreds of dollars. You've gained a subscriber!
Awesome. Thanks love!
Great Job 👍👍 Thanks for being so detailed !!!
This is amazing - Thank you !
Absolutely amazing! Thanks for sharing!
Hi, i love this video but my question is: if average table height is 30”, then the table is fairly short right? Nobody bash me I’m not good with measurements. And your table doesn’t look 30”
Thank you so much for watching our video! The average height of a table is around 30”-36”. I’m 5’3” so an average table height reaches my hip. Our letters are about 30” but keep in consideration the styrofoam is thick and we are putting a thick piece plexiglass on top as our tabletop so that adds elevation.
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?
Thanks for sharing. I hope that I would have the patience to do that it really looks like it's time consuming.
Shelia Thompson definitely time consuming 😩
For anyone who’s tried this, how sturdy is it? I want to try it for my baby shower but don’t need my dessert table falling to the ground lol
I'm doing one now for a baby shower I do decor for parties of any type and it seems to be sturdy so I'll let you know at this next event this weekend
L'Oreal Se'yane' hi did the event pass yet? Looking to do this for my daughters quinceanera but I have the same concern as the person above.
It's this Saturday but I did make them I'll post a little clip on my page
@@jarrya.8113 I'm planning my daughter's quinceanera right now also!! Are you going to do this?
L'Oreal Se'yane' was the letters sturdy enough for a table?
Thank youuuu for the inspiration & instructional
Thanks love, anytime!
Wow thats a lot of work 👌🏿
Yes. Yes, it is.
Very nice,I just use heavy duty strong paper boxes.
From where? Sounds pricey.
Great tutorial, thank you for sharing.
When sending letters t staples to be printed, how exactly are you doing them? i sent my letters and the are not 32 high and 18 wide at all.
I went to the store and ensured it was done properly.
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.
Great tutorial, thanks for sharing!
Great job 👍. What happened to your other videos? Beautiful outcome 🌝.
There’s a very strong fast drying styrofoam glue that’s great for your project. It dries much faster than E6000 & it’s made for styrofoam.
What is the styrofoam glue?
It’s made by Alene’s name is Foamtastic it’s super strength bond for styrofoam. Hope this help you 🌝
Sorry. Just seeing this response. This is the only video we have at this time. Thank you for the information, will definitely look into it.
Wish I had seen this before they band Styrofoam cups in my country
Where do i find the glass to put on top
Professional Plastics
Great Job! Thanks for sharing!
Highly Favored Events where did you purchase the plexiglass and what length and thickness did you use? Thanks!
You can do the same thing but at a cheaper cost with boxes instead of the styrofoam. You will still need the styrofoam cups and you use paper mache for extra firmness.
Oooooo, that's interesting!! Have you tried it?!
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.
Beautiful
omg... that is awesome.... great job... such creativity
Sharonda Laidback Thank you kindly.
Highly Favored Events .... you are very welcome....
This is so amazing!!!! Thanks for sharing!!
Sade Tyson Thanks for watching!!
Thank you for sharing this!
I hope I can make this kind of project too. For now, I am doing simple styrofoam letters which I show in my channel.
Will def check it out. Thanks!
Thank you for the guidance
Thanks love!
Loveeeee, thank you. You kept the letters close together individually or did you glue them together?
Thank you! They were individual.
So you have 18 by 30 for the lettering but you just stated that it was 32 inches tall and 18 inches wide so I think you miss printed
Misty Bone when the Staples employee printed it out, she accidentally did it at that size. But most tables are 30 inches tall.
Did you secure the plexiglass with anything or just rested it on the letters ?
Julianna Arroyo no ma’am. They just laid atop the letters.
Love it girl, you got it going on.
Thank you so much!
Turn your camera sideways next time. This was a great tutorial just hard to see. I would also cover the letters on the inside
Livingboldlynfierce when the camera was sideways it couldn’t fit everything. An iPad was used to film this.
Thank You for this video.. How exactly do I do the sides for the letters that you've done.
My son & I are going to try to master the letters.
viola arrington the sides were measured from one point to the other for all the letters. The width was the same, just need the length. Cut each piece and glue them one by one.
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!! 💕
Where did you get your plexiglass and how many pieces did you use?
Real nice i am in a social club and i think that would be great for our parties
Yvette Davis yes ma’am!!!
I love this and thank you so much for sharing. I have been asking around and no one was willing to help. One question for your print out letters how does Staples print them out do you have to make a file and send first?
Ebony Summers Thanks for watching! Yes, I made a file and sent it to them. But I was there when they printed it to ensure it printed to the size we needed.
Amazing! How is the tabletop supported in the back?
Great tutorial! Thank you
Gloria Dominguez thank you!
Nice! What are the proper measurements for the glass
