DIY Personalized Wooden Letter Craft

Weekend project using Sikaflex Construction Sealant. A great 5th wedding anniversary gift idea. The customary gift is wood, so enjoy this DIY craft using branches/pecans off our pecan trees in the yard.

Supplies & Tools

  • MDF letters (2)
  • Pre-made Frame
  • Sikaflex+ Construction Sealant Dark Bronze (1 tube)
  • Tree Branches/Pecans
  • Bandsaw
  • Caulk Gun
  • Putty Knife
  • Tweezers

Step 1: Cutting

I first dry cut all the wood to fit the letter "P".

Step 2: Sikaflex

I then smeared Sikaflex Construction Sealant Dark Bronze on the letter and sides to not only act as an adhesive but also to use the color as a background filler.

Step 3: Applying Branches

Next, I added the branches/pieces by pressing them firmly to the "P".

Step 4: Bonding "P" to Board

To finalize my craft, I used the remaining construction sealant to bond the "P" to my frame.
