Do you DIY ?

Hi people. It is Ifa with you today. Hope you have recovered from the retreat.

Have you seen these ?


DIY Thickers! What a great idea...undecorated Thickers in all your favourite fonts. So many possibilities.

The DIY Thickers have adhesive, both top and bottom. You peel off the top cover to add glitter, micro bead or tinsel.


I started with my favourite font, Sprinkles.


Mine is decorated with MicroBead in Leaf. Here's the complete layout.


The top adhesive paper is matte. If you keep it on, it can also be doodled on


for a layout documenting my son's obsession with Lego.


You could also stamped on the matte cover and highlight with coloured pens.



From doing these layouts, I have discovered that the bottom adhesive is very strong so it was not easy to add glitter/bead elsewhere and then transfer to the layout. So I ended up sticking the letters on my layout and then add the glitter. To avoid getting trapped glitter/bead, try to decorate your Thickers on your layout before adding too much to the layout.

The Thickers are made out of foam so when I tried to move the letters, the foam has a tendency to stretch which is why the letters in Playground are a little skewed.
