I've been meaning to share this project I did last weekend.
I was in the mood for a quick and simple craft.
I looked for inspiration in my craft supplies.
When I came across two wooden J's,
I knew I'd found what I was looking for!
I started by painting the sides of the J.
Then I traced and cut out a J on scrapbook paper.
I modge-podged my scrapbook paper in place.
Next I topped it with a layer of clear spray acrylic.
Here are both of the boy's J's drying.
Because I'm OCD I had to make sure the back was pretty too.
And one last time,
here's James' bright colored J
& Joseph's school themed J.
I'm going to hang James' over his bed
and Joseph's with his football team pictures.
Speaking of hanging...
I tried stapling a ribbon on the back to hang it from.
The staple went through the front.
Then I tried to attach a picture hanger
but that didn't work out so well either.
SO, I'm planning to drill a small hole
on the back to hang them from.
Whew, who knew hanging my decor
would be the hard part??
I'll post pics once I have them hung in the boys' rooms.
Please tell me, what do you think...
Did you think my simple
& quick project turn out too cute?
Should I make an H to hang on the front door??
Oh so many projects, so little crafting time! ; >

They are great! What about a Command hanging strip, I love em.
What about just plain hot glue?
I love these! I've been wanting to make some for my kids but just haven't yet. Thanks for stopping by my blog.
great find, great idea. i love that they are really cute, but still totally appropriate for a boy's room. that is a hard balance, and you found it.
These turned out great! I love letter monograms {and numbers too} so this is right up my alley! Thanks for sharing - Happy Spring!
