This is one of my favorite projects to do for our "Fun Friday" activity. (It is called Pride Club at our school). It is low prep, low cost, and takes a decent amount of time and the kids stay focused.

Tip: Have them tear a bunch of the color they are on, then put glue on a portion of the letter and glue the pieces down. Some kids will want to tear one-glue one-tear one-glue one and they will never finish! Glue sticks and not drip glue. Some of my favorites from this year:
