DIY Hanging Letter Tutorial

Look at me!  Look at me!  Two posts in one week!  It must be some kind of record.  :D

I just wanted to post a quick tutorial on how I did our little boy’s nursery letters.  After browsing Pinterest for ideas, I decided to DIY hanging letters from a curtain rod.  It was super easy and quick- which I like- because I’m totally running out of time.

Materials Needed:

  • scrapbook paper- I purchased a book of scrapbook paper named “It’s a boy thing” from Walmart for about $5.00
  • cardboard letters – Hobby Lobby on sale for $1 a piece
  • exacto knife or other equivalent of a very sharp crafting knife
  • Ribbon
  • Glue
  • Thumbtacks
  • cheap curtain rod

First I laid out my letters onto the paper and cut around the edge to create an exact paper replica.

Then I glued the paper onto the letter and let that dry.

Next I attached the coordinating ribbon ( I cut each ribbon at about 18 inches I believe).  I attached the ribbon using a nifty little thumbtack to the back.

Then I screwed my curtain rod into the wall and slid my letters into place!  Done!!!!

I told you it was easy and fast!!

Thanks for reading!
