Personalized Wooden Letters


These letters can be found at many different craft stores. They are easy to make and you can often find the letters for around a dollar.  This is a great group project!  Great for Girl Scouts or Birthday Parties.

Supplies:  Wood Letter
                Paint - I used crackle paint to give it a different look.
                Photos - as many as you want
                Colored Paper - use behind photos
                Words - of interest for that person - printed on the computer
                Embellishments
                Ribbon or trim
                Adhesive
                Wide Popsicle Stick -  if needed as a base for your letter



Directions: 
1. Paint the wood letter the color you have picked out.
2. Start deciding where you want things to be placed. - I do this before I glue anything.
3. Once you decide your design placement, I usually glue down ribbon first, followed by photos and then embellishments. I like to add paper behind the photos to add color and interest.
4. If needed add a Wide Popsicle Stick to the bottom of the letter to help it stand up better.

This is so easy to make and you can add as much or little as you want!!
