How to Make Letters For Wall Names

Paint your letters with your acrylic paint and a foam brush. You may need a few coats depending on how you want your letters to look. Let the paint dry between coats.

If you would like you can use stencils to paint a design or if you are able, freehand a design to create your own look.

Once your letters are dry and painted the way you want them. Cut the ribbon for hanging them up.

Figure how you low you want your letters to hang. Consider these directions include tying a bow, which will use up some of the ribbon length. About a foot of ribbon per letter.

Attach one end of the ribbon to the far left side of the top of the letter with the glue. While the glue is still wet place a thumb tack in through the ribbon to secure it. Glue the other end of the ribbon to the top far right side of the letter and repeat with the tack. The ribbon should look like a loop on top of the letter.

To tie a bow at the top wait until the glue is dry and then make a small loop, like you are tying a shoe at the top of the loop. Make another loop right next to the first one and make sure the letter hangs level if you pick it up by the loops. After the letter looks level, cross the two loops and tie them into a bow.

Make sure the letter is level again and adjust the bow if needed. Continue until all letters are done.

To hang the letters on the wall. Place a small nail through the middle of the bow and hammer into place.

Now you have made your own letters for names on walls!
