Best place to buy wooden alphabet letters?

in 3rd Trimester

I've been looking everywhere for plain white wooden letters, and the only place I've been able to find them is Michaels craft store - but they were out of the letters I needed!

Where's a good place online to buy alphabet letters for a reasonable price? I live in Canada, so preferably something with cheap/free shipping...I don't want anything too huge - probably 6-8 inches would do it. It would be nice to have a selection of fonts, or something more "bubbly" than the very traditional looking letters. Any suggestions?

    I know Wal-Mart sells the wooden ones but they would have to be painted white.... Hobby Lobby might have that, I'm almost sure they do. Good Luck

    I got mine from 3Dwoodcraft.com, I think.  I think you can get them finished or unfinished there and they have a huge variety of fonts and sizes for reasonable prices.  The only issue I had with them is they took a while to ship, and I had to call and email them to see what was going on - after I did that they shipped them immediately.

    I got ours at Hobby Lobby. They were white until I painted them...and only 2.99 each.

    Hobby Lobby has unfinished wooden letters for 1/2 off this week... so some are only $1 each!  Some are $1.50.  If you don't have one near you, maybe someone can ship them to you... You'd have to paint them white, but that's not a hard thing to do.  They also have letters that are ALREADY white... those are 2.99 each... not on sale right now though (they were two weeks ago, so maybe in another two weeks...)

    We don't have Hobby Lobby in Canada (as far as I know), and the Walmarts here don't carry the letters, either (at least not the ones I've checked). I'm thinking online might be my best bet. I'll take a look at  3Dwoodcraft.com that was suggested...

    I bought ours at a craft store and painted them myself.

    Total cost of letters, paint, and the metal hanging parts = less than $10.

    www.creativexpress.com has the exact same letters as Michael's, but for $1.00 each. They are the 9" wooden white letters.

    HTH!

    I bought mine at JoAnn fabric and craft store. Here is a link to the website. I looked at Michaels as well and those ones were so blocky and some of the letters I wanted were always missing.

    We got ours here.  LOVE them.  Go to wooden letters, then unfinished.  You'll have to paint them yourself, but they have a huge selection of fonts, and you can choose how tall you want them and how thick you want them. We're really pleased with the ones we got.
