As I have said before, I’m decorating. A family member made my son a beautiful quilt with the alphabet and his name on it, and it is so beautiful I decided to hang it above his bed. I wanted my daughter to have something special over her bed that included her name, so I came up with this little project. I can get creative when I want to. Here’s what I did.

Supplies:
All of the supplies were purchased at Michael’s.
Large, thin, wood letters
Paint
Brushes
Drill
String or twine
Tacks
