Advice for paper anniversary gift

I've had an idea for my brother and sister-in-law's 1st (paper) wedding anniversary and I need advice on how I could make it.
The idea is to create 2 3D letters which will be their first name initial e.g. 'S' for Sarah and 'J' for John. Then I want to decorate each letter with photos of their first married year together.
These can then either be a keepsake or displayed as an ornament.
The advice I need is:
What can I make the letters out of?
How can I attach the photos to this material in a way in which
h they kind of flow, in a collage type way, all around the 3D letter?
Any advice would be very much appreciated. Thanks

How about these http://direct.hobbycraft.co.uk/products-Unpainted-8-inch-Paper-Mache-3D-Letter-S_338976.htm?
And you could print mini photos and glue them in a mosaic style onto the letters like this http://media-cache-ec4.pinterest.com/originals/fe/c9/41/fec941695f45d36cea7027117e6b6361.jpg
Here is an how to guide I found http://transforminghome.blogspot.co.uk/2010/01/mod-podge-photo-letter.html
Sounds a lovely gift! Make sure you post photos when youve done them0 -
