Did you do the wooden letter names?

KatieBlondie27 · November 2011

I didn't want to do this at first because it's so trendy but I think it would be cute in our nursery. Did any of you do this? Did you hang them from ribbons? Is there a site that explains how to do it? A picture would be great if you did!

I did it. I was going to use ribbons but then found letters at michaels with predrilled nail holes and decided not to add the cost of the ribbon to the project.

my letters are paper mache of some kind from the paper source. i decopaged them with a heavy wrapping paper also from the paper source. they stand up on a shelf. i posted a PIP earlier today of my nursery and you can see them there.

This pic is from when I did DD1's room. The letters came with ribbon or drilled holes in the back and I chose to just skip the ribbon. The letters were already in the color I wanted and in Clearance at TRU.

We're in the process of changing this and have taken away the wooden letter idea. I just made frames with the girls' names to go with the new version of this room

Yup. Mine are in bright rainbow colors. DH still has to hang them over his crib. We are using the nail holes that came pre drilled into the back.

We didn't because we're keeping our name a secret until after he's born and there's no way to keep friends/family out of the nursery until he is born. It's definitely trendy, but it's trendy for a reason - they look super cute. If you like them, go for it!

Havent done hers yet but Im planning on doing this:

I felt like it was a little different than doing her entire name (and I already have something else that's going behind her crib). I still wanted to do the monogram letter but I like the idea of framing it to take up more space with the burlap background (her entire room is shabby chic so it really fits well).

I did not do names but I did get letters for DS's 1 year & 2 year pictures. So, I'm not much help on how to do the names on the wall BUT I do have a good website to get the letters. They have a TON of fonts & you can get almost any size letter for a really reasonable cost.

I bought the letters from Joanne Fabric and painted them blue and brown to match our sons nursery. I used command strips to hang them, worked great for me. I thought the ribbon would look to girly seeing as we are having a boy.

I bought the plain letters from hobby lobby, attached scrapbook paper and ribbon-then hung them up.

wooden letters, scrapbook paper, a few buttons and ribbon and some modge podge. We put them on the all using command removable strips

I got metal signs with the letters of his name on them from Hobby Lobby. Each letter is a different color and the are "aged" and will go perfectly with our nautical theme. I also thought they looked much more masculine than the traditional wooden letters.

I got mine on sale at BRU BOGO and they have predrilled holes that we will most likely use. I've just got to paint them back white because the color I picked I didn't like so I'm reverting back to white unless some other thought crosses my mind.

My DH made them for DD1 and in the process of sanding DD2's name now. We're not hanging DD2's name just yet because her name is a secret until after her birth. With DD1's name he didn't make it until after her birth because we were team green.

We are having the guests at my shower paint the alphabet. So it is the letters but a different version, not the name. We bought probably 5 different styles so it'll be mix/match and fun! We are going to hang some with ribbons and others without, maybe even put a few on small shelves.

JennyLiz75 · November 2011

I didn't want big letters across the wall...I wanted something a little more subtle and smaller to put over the changing table since we already had stuff over the crib.

Got smaller letters from Hobby Lobby. Painted the letters and a plaque to put them on to matched the bedding.

The plaque is pictured in my signature and it's hung with ribbon.

Great tips and pics everyone! Thank you! I've got to keep my hands busy until my guys come home

I got them for DS and for DD at Michaels. DS were a little more, but bigger and we hung them with some Comand wall tape, it does not damage the wall and is really strong. DD wall letters are thinner and I bought ribbon at Walmart (for .45 cents and I did not use the whole roll). I stapeled it on the back and it worked really well. DS letters are all the same color, DD letters are a hot pink on the front, and an orange on the side so when you look from the side it gives it a pop of color.

I'm back and forth with the letters/name. It is awful trendy...but a great way to personalize!

If I do something I will probably buy the cardboard ones and cover them in matching fabric. Since we're having a boy I don't really want to do the ribbon to hang them.

shanabonner · November 2011

i did. I used the 3M stickys to hang them on the wall.
