This is so easy!
You’ll need a silicone candy mold set.
I bought this set at Michaels for $22 -minus 50% off with the coupon on the app.
I will have a TON of different ideas for how to use these molds! They’re a fabulous add to your craft cupboard.
Carefully – Fill each section with hot glue!
While it’s still ‘tacky’ add your decorations.
I used lots of bits and pieces, such as; beads, buttons, glitter, string, feathers and pom-poms.
You could also decorate each letter with items that correspond to the letter sound i.e. Bells for ‘B’ …
or – leave them as is – they look like ice and then add them to an ‘ice and snow’ water/sensory table!
Once the glue has cooled and hardened, just pop the letter out.
What do you think?

Great idea. Are they easy to pick apart? Hotglue is often not thT long lasting.
Thanks for sharing

Thanks! These are about an inch an a half thick – so not at all easy to pick apart!

If you’re using a mini glue gun, you’ll need about two sticks per letter. (Of course that depends on the mold you as well) 🙂

Did you spray the mold with anything or are they easy to just push out

No need to spray as long as you buy a non stick silicone like this 🙂

I painted a few of them with acrylic paint and then sealed them with a coat of mod podge.
Others are coloured because I used some coloured/glitter glue sticks 🙂

What glue gun do you use? I tried it today and it seemed like my glue gun wouldn’t heat the glue fast enough.

Just a regular glue gun and glue sticks. It may be your glue gun?
I’ll be posting another neat activity with these moulds soon so watch the blog! 🙂
