Question: Hi Robin, I’m looking for metal embellishments that I want to use for a wedding favor attachment. I just need the capital letter “B” which will be the letter of our last name. I’d like squares the size of Scrabble tiles and need about 40 of them. Any suggestions where I can order them?
Answer: Pressed Petals sells letters separately and we have the letter B in silver on our website (though it is not square). Another option are these metal charms from Ornotage.com. Also, many local scrapbooking stores sell letters separately. You might want to check yours out.
Here are some homemade ways of getting the square letter look you want:
1.) Buy some metal sheets, cut them into squares, and use a stamping die setter like this one from Making Memories. Basically, you hammer the letter shape you want into the metal and you have your own homemade letter tile. You can also write the letter using a metal embossing tool, pencil or stylus (print off the letter from your computer, trace over the paper and the metal (pressing hard), remove the paper, and you have your own custom monogram on metal.
2.) Cut squares out of chipboard, paint them silver (or gold) and then use a letter stamp with silver (or gold) embossing powder. After using a heat tool to make the letter “raised” up, it will look like a metal tile.
