Kids Wall Art - Craft Letters!

Today I've got a cute and simple project to share: dressing up wooden craft letters to create some fun kiddie wall art!

I visited my sweet little nieces last weekend and I wanted to make them each a little something to hang in their bedroom :) Embarrassingly enough, I bought the wooden letters for this project over 2 years ago - talk about procrastinating! I originally started painting them all by hand in bright colours and cute little patterns. These were a few of my faves:

But halfway through painting, the project got shoved in the back of my closet. Between planning my wedding and moving I totally forgot about it! I finally dug them out last week.

I didn't have the time to finish hand-painting them all, so I opted for a quick and easy alternative: spray paint and craft paper. I primed and painted all the letters in a bright hot pink, then picked out a couple of fun printed papers for each girlie :)

A more sophisticated and classic damask for the eldest, a funky zebra print for the middle sis,

and a bunch of cute and sweet patterns for the youngest :) Each one got a little sparkle too!

I just cut out the shapes from the scrapbook paper and glued them onto the letters with mod podge. We hung the letters over their beds using double-sided mounting tape. Each girl picked how she wanted to hang her name, although auntie made some helpful suggestions :) The finished product was a fun way to dress up their little spaces!

I think they look pretty cute, don’t you?

This is a really easy and inexpensive way to customize your own wall art - wooden craft letters are pretty easily found at craft stores or even dollar shops, and the same goes for scrapbook paper. Just one tip: look for the flat letters as opposed to the bevelled ones I used, it'll make tracing and cutting the craft paper way easier!

Happy Weekend :)
