[@highlyfavoredevents]

[@dsmmike95]

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.

[@highlyfavoredevents]

dsmmike95 great suggestion. We had the fan on with windows open in a pretty big space. But def had strong fumes going on.

[@desimarshay27]

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..

[@highlyfavoredevents]

Deseray Marshay omg. That’s scary. Thank you for sharing. We’ll definitely use a mask from now on. Prayers for her health.

So this foam would actually hold the glass down without falling apart?

[@highlyfavoredevents]

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.

[@mytrinityhope1]

I'm sure it's probably plexiglass. I wouldn't do real glass. Too heavy.

[@trenee1969]

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?

[@mykiamoto7145]

Thank you so much for this tutorial!

[@_illuminini_]

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

[@lorealseyane3450]

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

It's this Saturday but I did make them I'll post a little clip on my page

[@samanthasantiago7043]

L'Oreal Se'yane' was the letters sturdy enough for a table?

[@michelewatson437]

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.

[@highlyfavoredevents]

We just left it as is. Because it had the vinyl over the front of the letter it’s went unnoticed. Thanks for watching!

[@crislovesbeauty3964]

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.

[@highlyfavoredevents]

Oooooo, that's interesting!! Have you tried it?!

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.

[@vashionwalters-hickman674]

What is the styrofoam glue?

[@cecestyme7142]

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.

[@original80sbabyNisha]

Wow, the final product looks amazing! So how much total did you spend on 7 letters and how long did it take? Do you reuse the letters you get printed?

[@highlyfavoredevents]

original80sbabyNisha thank you! We spent less than $100. Took about 10 hours to complete all the letters. We kept the letters, just in case.

[@original80sbabyNisha]

Highly Favored Events Wow! That's definitely cheaper than paying someone. I'm only doing four letters so I won't even have to spend that much! I plan on using the mirror on my dining room table we replaced the glass with. What did you use?

[@QueenofPentacles82]

I love this I had letters made in China, and I dread paying that for every letter. This would allow me to create people names. How much do you charge a letter for these

[@Mckenzieknowsitall]

Good question

[@Ashleyinfashionland]

What website did u use?

[@collageandwood]

I make wooden letters - not 3 D but I can make them stand. I can make them out of wood so you can follow this tutorial and have something super sturdy. I also can print the giant paper stencils for you as well :)

Omg thank you for this! Im getting married in 6 months and have a tiny budget to spend.For 3 letters how many boards do you think I should get? Also what size plexi glass and how much did it cost you? I'm sorry for all the questions I'm just super excited

[@highlyfavoredevents]

Neash Three Congrats on your engagement! 1 board gave 2 letters. So 2 should be enough for you. We ordered a 20”x 60” plexiglass. It depends on the type of plexiglass for the cost. The vendor we used was Professional Plastics.

[@neashx4132]

Highly Favored Events Thank you!

[@mayapasillas4383]

Thank youuuuu! You’re amazing for this! Also did you glue the letters together after you finished or were they all freestanding?

[@nakiacarr8538]

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”

[@highlyfavoredevents]

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.

[@lj8666]

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?
