Letters!

I love wooden letters! They are very easy to decorate with and make such a statement!
What you need 
The letters of your choosing. Could be your initials, full name, or a saying like "Love"
Clear Industrial strength glue such as E6000 or Multi purpose cement- be sure to read the back of your product carefully. Different glues do not work well with plastics or rubber.
Ribbon- you will need double the hanging length and it needs to be sturdy enough to support the weight of your letter
 and Just a few idea extras:
Silk flowers, metal clippings, buttons
Mod podge glue if you decide to decoupage with papers
Stencils and paint
You can add picture hangers to the back to make displaying easier and less demanding on your hanging ribbon. 
This one I made for Vanessa's baby shower using the cement to attach the moon and star. I kept it simple so the mommy to be could add any colors she decides to decorate with.
This one was made for a Dear friends Birthday!
The "family" was brad nailed on thanks to my wonderful hubby!
I used some metal jewelry accents and iron on flowers- glued on though! 
These two are huge- they are actually cardboard and not wood but I loved the size. Here I used stencils and paint so that the boys could help and pick out what they wanted.
We topped them off with a messy hand print!

All of the letters shown are from JoAnn's fabric store. I hope you have fun with this one! There are so many ways to decorate them! 

Hope you have a great weekend! 
Christine, Alex and Luke

P.s. We have had over 1000 Visits! Thank you all so much!
