Wooden letters for wall decor: DIY wooden letter decorating ideas
Large wood letters make a great addition to any home decor. Use them in your newborn’s nursery, in the playroom or even a bedroom. They can be used to spell out a child’s name, a family member’s initials, or even a special word or phrase. Regardless of how they are used, large wood letters add a touch of personality and style to any room. In addition to their aesthetic value, DIY wood letters can also be quite functional. They can be used to mark the entrance to a room, to highlight a particular area of interest, or even to provide directions. No matter how they are used, large wood letters are sure to add character and charm to any space.
There are many places you can purchase wooden letters.
You can purchase cheap wooden letters at different stores on Amazon. One popular option is Hobby Lobby. Many people like Hobby Lobby numbers. Collage and Wood is unique because we create wooden letters up to four feet tall! We can also customize your font and make your numbers freestanding. (Plus, we ship fast! Order today and your large letters will ship within 3-5 business days!)
Each of these stores of fers a wide variety of unfinished cutouts in different styles, so you’re sure to find something that suits your needs.
Most wood letter creators utilize a type of plywood called baltic birch.
Baltic birch gives you a smooth surface to work with and apply custom paint. This unfinished surface is perfect for artists of all ages and levels!
There are many reasons why you might want to consider custom wall lettering. Perhaps you want to add a personal touch to your home décor, or you may be looking for a unique gift for someone special. Whatever the reason, custom wood letters offer a beautiful and stylish way to make a statement. A wooden letter can be custom-made to match any décor or hard-to-decorate wall space.
Painting The Wood Letters
Apply 2-3 coats of your favorite Metallic paint to your wood letter.
You’ll need a really good paintbrush when you’re painting with metallics to get the best results on your painted wood letters. I recently painted a dresser with this same color and it turned out well. CLICK HERE to see a great example of this color on furniture. It’s amazing!
Holy Gold Glitter!
So, I told you I was going to show you how to paint wood letters with a unique style… how about some glitter paint. Paint three coats of the glitter paint on the lower 1/3 of the wood letter to give it that dipped look for best coverage. I used an inexpensive chip paintbrush with this paint so I wouldn’t mess up my good paintbrushes. I like it easy and disposable. [convertkit form=724904]
Next, let’s add some Gold Leaf to the wood letter! Why not? To add another layer of bling, use a gold leafing kit. Add the gold leafing in a straight line where the glitter paint begins on the wood letter and gradually break the design away. Use a small artist paintbrush to apply the glue in the areas you want the gold leaf and seal with a water-based top coat of your choice.
The Results Of Painting Wood Letters Project
I used the backer board in two ways. It looks good with a wreath or as a layer of design in my home decor staging.
Or it can be used as the backdrop for the wood letter cutout.
And the cutout can be used as-is. Super cute!
And of course the pièce de résistance (said in the best french voice I have)… my painted wood letter D! Do is one happy girl right now and my personalized letter has found its home in my office. It looks nice on my upcycled picture frame I did a few weeks back. Want to see how I created it. CLICK HERE!
So, whatcha think? Would you paint wood letters for your home or office? I up-cycled a large frame and added a faux shiplap to display my wood letter. I’m really happy with how it turned out. Tell me your thoughts in the comment section below. Inspire me!
