Baby Room Letters!!
My best friend should be delivering my god son any day now... and with me being crafty and all... I just had to make something super cute for the nursery!!
craft supplies:
-Wooden letters from Hobby Lobby
-cute inexpensive fabric from Joann fabrics
-a roll of craft paper
-mod podge (I already had)
-glue gun (I already had)
-two rolls of thin white ribbom
My mom and I traced the letters out of the craft paper and cut the paper letters out.
Next, we used the mod podge to glue the letters to each color of fabric. Once dried... we cut the fabric down leaving about a 1/2inch around the edge of the letters. We cut notches in the fabric all around the edge and began to use mod podge to wrap and glue the notches to the sides and backs of the wooden letters.
We let everything dry completely.
After everything was dry we hot glued the craft paper letters onto the back of the letters. We wanted everything to have a clean look.
To finish up and continue with the clean look... we bought some thin white ribbon to wrap around all the edges of the letters. I use my glue gun and just worked my way around each letter.
Did I mention I borrowed the nursery bedding and matched the fabric that I used for the letters to it :)
And... I put some of the left over craft paper to good use.
Pretty cute gift... right??
Mommy-to-be loved the letters and hung them above the changing table!!
Perfect room for any little boy!!
**Oh and see the diaper cake on the shelf... I made that and will blog about it this week!

How cute!! Love this. And I totally would NOT have thought about having a "finished" back. You're smart!
Thank you Shel!! Yeah... it just felt like it needed something a little extra! The backing was perfect!
How clever! I never thought of covering up wooden letters with paper - they look fantastic.
Thanks for following me on Twitter by the way!
