Wooden Letters!

So, the wooden letters we made are finally done, and they are hanging in baby's room. The idea was really simple, however doing it was a little bit of a pain. My first try was a complete disaster, lol. Fortunately for me, Marc had an epiphany, and he was able to help me with the letters. I went back to the store to buy another set of wooden letters. Here's the making of the letters, lol.

Stencils that we used to trace on the paper.
The wooden letters.
Me using the stencils Marc made,
so I can trace it on the scrapbook papers.
The letters are cut out of the nice paper. They just sat on top of the wooden letters
instead of trying to wrap  them around the whole thing.
We sanded the letters, then primed them, then sanded them again.
After that, we painted  them white.
Marc gluing the paper on top of the wooden letter.
I did the A and C, haha!!!
The finish result! I really like it! I did mod podge it once the paper was glued.
We put the hanging hardware on the back of each letters,
and hanged them  in baby's room.

I will put a picture of the letters on the wall later. Maybe when I post pictures of the nursery :).
