Next, punch out hexagon shapes using the Large Hexagon Squeeze punch. The squeeze punch is designed so that you can see where you are punching, which helps save paper, and it allows you to align your punch out with patterns on your paper. This is a fun project to do with your kids, because they love punching shapes from paper.

Using tacky glue, start adhering the hexagons onto the canvas. There is no need to prime or prep the canvas in any way. Simply adhere the punched hexagon shapes onto the canvas front, leaving a little space in between each hexagon.

Let this dry for about 12 hours.

To make the alphabet initial, print out your letter of choice onto an 8.5 by 11 inch piece of printer paper. Lay your printed letter on a piece of glittery cardstock, and carefully cut out the letter using the Orange Handled Scissors.

Next, adhere the letter onto some foam. Using the Orange Handled Scissors, cut the foam around the alphabet. This foam gives some dimension to the letter.
