We finally move-in and I had all sorts of random letters, of course with a couple duplicates. I had to find a couple more to finish off the alphabet, but all the letters were there. I arranged and hung them on the wall and left them that way for quite a while. Once a week, or two, or three I would take one letter off the wall and paint it or do something special with it. So after three months on the wall I was a good 2/3 actually complete. Then of course I lived with it long enough that I started repainting letters and redoing things. And as complete as it is today, it'll still probably change.
In fact, Steve just informed me he doesn't like the ruler for the "I". He has impecable timing with his advice and critique. So my eyes are open for a new "I", it may or may not change. We'll see what I can find.
But for now:
It takes up a lot of space in our playroom 8'x7' but it's on a huge wall so it works. Here's a list of where I purchased each letter and the treatment I used.

ReplyDeleteYou really are an amazing girl. You know that right? :)
ReplyDeleteLove this!! How did you attach them to the wall? I am doing this in my son's nursery and am trying to think of a creative way to attach other then creating a bunch of holes.
