DIY Nursery Letters - Finished!

I finally finished the nursery letters project and Steve and I hung them this afternoon. Here's the finished product:

Here's how I made them:

Materials:

• Wooden letters (purchased at JoAnn)
• Mod Podge Glue (I bought the original matte)
• Scrapbook Paper (12 x 12 size paper fit 2 letters per sheet)
• Scissors
• Foam brush for mod podge
• Ribbon
• Hot glue gun
• Sticky wall tack

Process:

1. Trace the letters on the scrapbook paper. 
2. Cut out the letters along the pencil tracing, but cut them a little smaller if you want the white border like I have.
3. Use the foam brush to coat the letters in mod podge and apply the scrapbook paper cutouts. 
4. Let dry for about 15-20 minutes.
5. Once the letters are dry, go back over the the letters with a coat of mod podge to give it the finished look. Let dry for another 20 minutes and do another coat over the top.
6. Let letters completely dry.
7. Cut ribbon in strips of 18 inches. I used two pieces of ribbon per letter. 
8. Use the hot glue gun to glue the ribbon to the backs of the letters.
9. Let dry completely. 
10. Put small nails in the wall, tie ribbons into bows and use the sticky tack behind the letters to affix to the wall. That way, the ribbon won't be bearing all the weight. That's it!
