Re: L O V E letters!

I bought my wooden letters at Michael's and bought the acrylic paint in the color of my choice. The whole thing cost me about 10 bucks.

Re: L O V E letters!

like the poster above said, you could go to Michaels or AC moore and get the wooden letters plus the supplies to paint them and decorate them... the sunday paper always has Michaels and AC moore coupons!

Re: L O V E letters!

I highly recommend using spray paint. I used acrylic and it takes many many coats. Also, I primed the letter before with the spray primer.

Re: L O V E letters!

This is soo funny...I am actually sit here at my kitchen table with my paintbrush because I just finished painting 'I DO' wooden letters I bought at Wal-Mart for the cake table. I painted them with blue acrylic paint. The whole thing cost me $9. They look so cute! :)

Re: L O V E letters!

IMPORTANT!! I painting ceramics and wood is a hobby of my and if you want the best results you need to prime the material first or it will take many coats to get the letters to look like the exact paint color you bought. Otherwise the paint kinda absorbs into the wood or ceramic

Re: L O V E letters!

you can buy them at ac moore, michaels, pearl, or even like a walmart that has a craft section and then just paint or decorate them as you wish.

Not sure where you'd order these pre-made online but, honestly, it's so cheap and easy that it's just worth it to do it yourself-
