  I was so impressed when I saw these letters that you did. I thought you did a great job and have often thought of trying to do them myself. Now that you have printed the instructions, I may go ahead and try them.
  Great Job!!!

  I bought these same white letters tonight. They have them on sale at Hobby Lobby for 50% off until Jan 31st. So they end up being $1.50 each! Which rocks since our daughter’s name will only be 3 letters!!!

  Brandi, awesome! When I got the letters, they were 50% off, too. So, I’m glad to hear they do a 50% off sale pretty regularly. Have fun making the letters, and congrats on your pregnancy!

  Hi, love these instructions!! I want to do a monogram over my daughter’s crib. Problem is, the middle letter is larger than a sheet of scrapbook paper. Any ideas on what i can do to cover the letter with paper?

  @ Kent- Thanks.

  So the letter is in some way bigger than 12 inches? Would legal size (8.5 x 14 in) paper be too small, too?

  If you’re wanting to work with paper, you might be able to find a high quality print and print it on specialty paper at a Kinkos or some place like that. Or you could always put multiple, torn strips of paper on one letter. Or, you could also use a thin fabric.

  I hope one of these options will work for you. Best of luck!

  I love the letters you found, but can not find them at all on Hobby Lobby’s website. Could you please tell me how tall they are to help me search?

  Thanks!

  The letters are 9 inches tall. And the width of the letters I have ranges from 5-7 inches.

  This page shows a few of the letters:

  This page is the actual ‘G’/ The Sku item # is 797811:
  http://shop.hobbylobby.com/store/item.aspx?ItemId=96045&dep=60&cat=30&subcat=3&Search=Y

  In the store, the letters are almost always on sale for 50% off, as part of the 50% off wall decor. Do you have a store near you?

  Thanks for the information. We don’t have a store where I live, but there is one where my mom is. She’s always happy to do a little shopping.

  I actually think I am going to try vinyl letters instead. http://www.alphabetgardendesigns.com/

  I want to put up the whole alphabet and a part of the wall is curved. I don’t know if the wooden letters would work right.

  How much fun is it to have the internet to help us figure out possibilities and learn what others have done?!?!

  Thanks again!

  Hi,
  I was searching and found your wonderful site.
  Lori I love the letters you did!
  I had a few ideas on the paper not being big enough.
  If your not into painting them yourself, there are lovely
  birthday, nursery, baby shower gift wrappings out there that would be perfect and less costs, you can even find nice ones at dollar trees/stores.
  Alot of people also like to do a collage, from say the top layers of napkins.
  You could print out your baby’s photo/birth announcements etc.. on thin paper/parchment or they make a transparent decal sticker paper for inkjet printers also, that would look nice, put on top of the dried paper.

  @ Kim- Aww, thanks! And what great ideas for other papers to use. I’m going to be doing a post in a few months of the new wall letters I’m making for my soon-to-be-born baby, and I’ll try to remember to include your ideas.

  Lori, your welcome & a BIG Congrats on the new baby!!!

  I had a few other ideas pop in my head just now lol

  They are now making the cutest tissue paper, for stuffing in gift bags. (cheap at dollar tree/stores)

  and also, I’ve seen the thin printed table cloths(paper)for baby showers and birthdays.

  Good luck with everything,
  Take care
