If you are anything like me, you inevitably have sets of alphabet rubons that only have one or two letters left and they are usually ones that aren't used very much... like p, y, z, k, etc.

Well don't toss them out or shove them in a drawer never to be seen again!! Get them and use them!

I know you're thinking... "What can I do with such a hodge podge of leftovers?" The answer: "Give them new life as new letters or something else".

Take the leftovers letters and combine them to make new letters by applying the rubon in sections until you get the right letter.

All the rub ons on this card below are a mixture of actual letters, bits and pieces of leftover letters, and pen fill-ins.

I took left over letters I had and made the Y's (from a Z), Made the A's (from M's), Made the H (from a M), the R (from a K), the P's (from bits and pieces and fill-ins), and the E's (from F's). The Confetti is just bits and pieces of the leftovers.

I was down to the last few letters and had some bits and pieces that never came off when I had used the original letters on other stuff. So I improvised and made this card with all that and used up of one remaining sheet of rubons.

Just experiment and look at the leftover letters to see what you can do with them.
