That's it! It is virtually fool proof (providing you trace/cut the letters out properly) and they look so cute! For a girls room you can hang ribbon on the tops to hang them. The symmetrical part of my brain forces me to hang them straight, but they also look really cute spread out in different patterns if you're feeling adventurous! The easiest part is that you can change them/re-do them if it's not quite the look you want, and the supplies are cheap. Aside from drying time, you could literally complete this project in about 30 minutes!
I always love rooms with a little personalization. Wall letters are such an easy way to do that, and although they are readily available on sites like Etsy, I was so surprised to find out just how easy they are to make! And of course making them yourself lets you completely personalize them for the room. Here's the first set I ever made: Okay, not the best pic, but they are shiny and each letter has kind of a textured looking print (which apparently doesn't show up well in pictures, but they look great in person!) There are literally 4 steps to this easy project. Step 1: Buy the wood letters you want (Hobby Lobby, Michaels, pretty much any craft store will have a nice variety - different sizes and scripts!) and pick out the coordinating paper you want, all one color, all different - whatever matches the room. Step 2: Grab a pencil and trace the letters on the back of the paper and cut them out. Step 3: Glue the paper onto the wood letters, matching them up perfectly, then grab a medium sized paintbrush and paint a layer of Modge Podge over the letters (this can be purchased at the same craft store where you get your letters - you only need a little bottle): Step 4: Once it's dry, hang up the letters! (Or further adorn with ribbon or whatever other embellishments you had in mind...) I am a bit commitment-phobic so I just used command strips for these - that way if I ever decide to change them or move them, there is no mess on the walls.

AuthorI love writing romance novels, editing other people's novels, planning parties (heavy on the theme food!) and watching movies. Cooking has also become a passion of mine (because you can't have a proper party without food!) and I love finding new hobbies when I can squeeze them in. Archives
