How to Make Jumbo Sized Letters
Переглядів 462 тис.6 років тому
This video is about how to make jumbo sized letters out of styrofoam board to use as decor prop for ANY event. These letters were made for a sweet table. This is a DIY for those who need a cost effective method on obtaining the jumbo letters for a one-time use. Although our letters are the most cost effective option, we recommend vendors who make letters using foam block or wood. For those vend...
Thank you.
Where did u get the table top from
Where you get the top part of the table is glass?
You could use plexiglass for the top, from Home Depot or Lowe’s
What size glass top did u have
Where did you get your plexiglass and how many pieces did you use?
When you download the front to computer what did you take to staples for them to print and what size did you tell staples you needed.
The best video for this ever & didn’t have to search long was one of the first videos that showed up! I say thanks a lot for the detailed video because them letter are to expensive on Amazon etc… especially if you need a lot
Where did you get the letter template from?

Our pleasure!!!!! Thank you for the support!!!!
They wanted to charge me 500 to print 5 letters. When I said 3 bucks, they laughed
How did you enlarge your letter at staples ? They keep telling me they cant enlarge it
We gave them the measurements and requested for them to enlarge it. Some associates might not know how to do it. Try another location if they're unable to assist.
@@highlyfavoredevents I tried 5 different locations they all keep telling me that I need to buy the $26.00 Dollar posters to do it
@@mayraroman6244 OMG!! That's crazy! I'm sorry this is happening to you. We did this over 3 years ago so maybe they changed their policies. Maye try a print shop instead. Hope you can find solution!
Yea I even tried Office Depot and they can’t do it either. I will keep trying. Thank you 🙏 love your video. 😊
@@mayraroman6244 thanks for watching. Hope you find a solution!
Wow, end result came out great!
Good Evening, What is the top of the candy table exactly? Is it glass or is it an acrylic type material. Do yu know where I could get it from?

Damn Etsy is charging $100 for 1 freaking letter.
Hey beautiful thanks.... what size hot pen do you have and do it smoke bad? What company is it by? Can you use it on a foam board ..... I got a lot of bad reviews on the one from Joanns and Michaels
Hello what size pen you have
I love this video.. I hope that you can tell me after you downloaded the college block letters, how did you save it on file and how did you send it to staples to print..
Amazing! How is the tabletop supported in the back?
Wow! It looks so inexpensive that I honestly was not expecting it to hold so much weight. Is that a plexiglass top?
Thank you for watching our video! Yes it is. 2- 20” x 60” (1/-0.125 thickness) Clear Acrylic Plexiglass Sheet from Professional Plastics. All the information is also in the description box.
What size glass did you use and where from
2 - 20” x 60” (1/- 0.125 thickness) Clear Acrylic Plexiglass Sheet from Professional Plastics
HELLO I SEE A CLEAR TABLE TOP WAS THAT GLASS OR A DIFFERENT MATERIAL
Hello and thank you for watching our video. The clear top is actually acrylic plexiglass. Please let us know if you have any more questions.
Hello mam where did you buy your patter letter?.?or number..thank you..
Hello and thank you for watching our video. We created the letter by downloading the college block font, using the font in a word document, putting each letter in the biggest size on each page, and then taking it to Staples to get enlarged. If staples or Office Depot is unavailable, try your local print shop. I hope this helps!
Anybody have any luck getting enlarged letters?
Thank you for watching our video. If Staples or Office Depot is unable to do it try you local print shop. I hope this helps!
@@highlyfavoredevents Thank you! I tried Staples, but the letters weren’t printed evenly.
@@palaceofbeautifulcreations7476 Sorry to hear that. Try your local print shop if needed.

This is great ! Off hand do you know how many boards I would need for a three letter word ?
Thank you so much for watching our video. I would say 2 just to be safe but typically 1.
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”
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.
Hello, about how many letters can you get off 1 board
You should be able to get about 3 letters depending on which letters your doing.
Also, What Steps Did You Do For The Letters? Did You Just Tell Them You Need College Book Font Letters In 18 x 30 Size?
Bee Nicolee You will have to download the font to your computer. Dafont.com has a ton of free fonts including College Block. Put the letters you need in caps on different pages. Then go to your nearest Office Max/Office Depo and tell them you want the letters enlarged to 18 x 30. I hope that helps.
Hey, I’m having some issues on getting these letters printed out. I’ve been to staples and office max, and they can’t print the letters 18x30. They saying that I would have to provide them with a file with the letters already enlarged to the size that I need them to be.
Highly Favored Events hi do we tell them 18x30 or 30x18 since average table height is 30inches
@@yofavyodieh2699 Hi and thank you for watching our video. You can tell them either or once the height is 30 inches.
@@jekildacastillo539 Hi and thank you for watching our video. The letters need to be enlarged to the largest size possible in your file. Each letter should be on its own page and the size should take up an entire sheet of paper in your word processor. I hope this helps, if not please feel free to reach out to us again. As far as Office Max or Staples not being able to enlarge the file I'm not really sure how they can't. These are the places we went to to get ours done. These letters are basically being used as a stencil so the quality of the letters aren't really important. Of course you don't want them to be too blurry but if its slightly pixelated that's okay too.
Hello, I’m Going To Attempt To Make These Letters And I Went Through The Comments To See If I Could Find A Answer To My Question But Couldnt. So The Plexiglass And Foam Board Seem To Be A Little Pricey. For The Plexiglass Was There A Typo In The Size Cause I Couldnt Find 24 x 60. Do You Think 24 x 36 Would Be Big Enough With The Same Demensions As Yours? And Lastly For The Foam Board, Can I Use The Foam Boards From The Dollar Store Instead?
Bee Nicolee First off, thank you so much for watching our video and showing us ❤️. We apologize for the delay in our response. I see you also texted us and I hope I can answer your question. I looked up the order we placed with Professional Plastics and this was exactly what we ordered: STOCK CODE: SACR.220CEFE DESCRIPTION: 0.220 THICK CLEAR EXTRUDED ACRYLITE FF FILM-MASKED SHEET (E) [Per Piece] Size: 20.00" X 60.00" @ +/- 0.125 The size 24 x 36 will not be long enough to cover the top of your letters if your doing the same amount of letters as us and you want to be sure that you have enough coverage. Now as far as using other materials for the foam board I would not suggest that because you want these letters to support the candy or sweets you are placing on top of it. God forbid you use Dollar Tree materials and it does not withstand the weight of the plastic let alone the sweets. For us we knew this table would be pricey but it was a show stopping piece at our client’s event and it was something they really wanted. I hope I answered your questions but if not please don’t hesitate to reach out again if you have more.
So glad my daughter only has 4 letters in her name! Thank you!
Always happy to help!
Highly Favored Events Hey, I Really Need Your Help. Did You See My Comment?
Bee Nicolee Yes. Let us know if you have more questions.
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.
Oooooo, that's interesting!! Have you tried it?!
