Painted Letters

When we found out that we were having a baby girl, the first thing I did was pick out her crib bedding!! I wanted something colorful, but not to loud. After we had picked out her bedding and finally decided on her name I just knew that I wanted to paint letters to hang in her room.

I had sat and thought about how I wanted to do go about painting her letters. I could do them something girly, paint them the colors of her bedding, OR I could paint them to match the pattern on her bedding!!
 
So I took a trip to Hobby Lobby, and after spending AGES in there (which I could do any day!) I had everything I needed to paint her letters. Paint brushes, paint colors to match, and letters!! Here is a picture of her bedding so you know what I was working with




So now that I have all the colors and utensils that I'll need to paint her letters, I sat down in front of the TV and slowly started to paint her letters to match her bedding, and because she is a girl...I had to add a little BLING!! It's a good thing my husband was deployed to Iraq because he probably would have laughed watching me balance letters on my stomach while I painted them. 

Here are the letters all painted and the FINAL project!! I usually charge $5 a letter give or take. Depends on the pattern and colors. Plus shipping!
