Learn how to make 3D Paper Letters to use as unique home decor or fun gift boxes! Decorating with 3D letters instantly personalizes a room with words, initials, or names! Sometimes it's hard (and expensive!) to find all the right letters in stores. Many of you have asked how to make 3D letters with paper, so I designed an entire collection! These uppercase 3D paper letters, numbers, and symbols have a secret: they're boxes! I love papercraft box projects since they combine creativity and function. My collection includes the full paper alphabet and numbers 0-9! These large 3D letters would look perfect spelling words in a craft room or as initials in a bedroom.

Hi Jennifer do you maybe have a video on how to design this letters. Or is there a way I can adjust yours? I would like to make them about 40cm high but only 4 cm deep. The moment I resize them, they become about 7 cm deep. Sorry maybe I stupid question, but I just can't get my head around it. How do you know the length of a bend for letters like a R/ D / S
Jennifer, this is my next project. I love love love watching your videos, you are a superb teacher. Its a cold Saturday night here in Scotland (minus 7) and Ive spent it here watching your videos. Thank you so much i have learned so much from you :)
I love these letters!!! I have been wanting to know how to do this for a long time and when I seen this video I was super excited. I've already made my first name and put it in my craft room. Also the glue Jennifer uses is the best. I tried another glue and it made my paper wrinkle so I bought this glue and it's such a big difference. Thank you for all your inspiration!!!!!!

Thank you very much for your video and free patterns. I am working on a project and saw a content creator doing it from scratch, so I decided to try it and got nowhere fast, then decided to search for already designed patterns. Of course, I decided to make sure I could do one of the worse letters first. The dreaded "S". Your designs are impressive, with the individual letters very detailed and very solid. They're the best ones I've seen. I had some early mishaps since the Brother ScanNCut does not cut scoring lines, but that's on me. Took me the better part of a day constructing that first letter as I worked out my assembling processes, but it turned out great and I think subsequent letters will turn out much quicker. Thank you again for your all your work and generosity in providing your designs for free!

I can not thank you enough! Seriously. I got my cricut 3 years ago and have made a handful of things because it was all SO confusing to me. Last week I needed to make something for a baby shower I am planning and I found you and now I can't put my cricut away 😂 There is something really unique about the way you present these videos. It has only been a few days I have learned more in that time than the 3 years I have had the cricut. THANK YOU SO MUCH!

You just made me so glad I bought the stylus pen instead of the wheel last night. I’m still working off of a explore air 2. But not having to change the scoring wheel to put the blade in saved a “tiny” bit of time.

The 3D letters are very interesting. I would like some additional videos on other letters, especially those with curves, like B, P, D, & Q. It seems a little difficult to bend/glue on the curves and not certain where the tabs are attached, especially on the inside of the curves. Thanks for keeping the endless creativity alive!
