Hello! This is Darleen from Darling Darleen, and I am sharing another easy letter craft project. If you’ve read some of my other posts, I have a slight obsession with monograms. I just love how they can personalize a space or make a gift more sentimental. This is a fun, easy project making a sequin monogram letter. These sequin letters can be used as a decorative object for your home or office shelf or used for wedding decorations or a bridal shower. Or any party that needs a little bling! I chose gold, but of course you can make your sequin monogram letter in any other color or metallic.
Supplies needed for your sequin monogram letter:
- paper mache letter
- 8mm sequins
- tacky glue spray
- gold spray paint
- tweezers
First step in making your sequin monogram letter:
Spray paint your letter gold. This will provide a base color for your letter. Remember to cover your area and spray in a well-ventilated space. Make sure it is fully dried before proceeding.
Get your tweezers and sequins ready!
Once the paint is dry on the monogram letter:
Start with your tacky glue and spray a small section of your letter. I started from the bottom and worked my way up, placing each sequin in a straight line. Using the tweezers, I was able to place each sequin close to each other. The spray glue stays sticky for a few minutes, so you will have time to cover your sprayed section with sequins. Although you do need to work fast, and the tweezers help to pick up each sequins and keep your hands glue free. This is not a project to go back to. It’s best to finish and complete in one go.
Let your sequin monogram letter dry, and then enjoy!
The paper mache letters are thick enough to balance and stand by itself. These sequin letters could also make simple words like LOVE, XOXO, BRIDE. Have fun with it!

I can’t believe you applied all those sequins with tweezers! It looks amazing, though. I’d probably just cover the whole front with glue and then smash it onto a plate full of sequins… and it’d look like crap in comparison!
This turned out beautifully! Love the gold & the sequins, what a great little statement piece to add to your bookshelf or desk! Love it!
Darleen, I love it! It turned out so pretty. Thanks for sharing!
