How to Make Silver Dust Letters
Making silver dust letters may be one of the least complicated craft projects available. Silver dust is an embossing powder than has two uses. You can use the powder alone like a form of glitter to add sparkle to letters. You can also use a heat gun to melt the powder and turn the letter into a solid silver letter that adds dimension and texture to a scrapbook page or other art project, such as labels or card invitations or announcements.
Things You'll Need
- Embossing stamp adhesive
- Letter stamps
- Cardstock paper
- Silver dust embossing powder
- Sharp scissors
- Spray sealer
- Heat gun (optional)

Allow the adhesive to dry for at least two hours.
