Personalized Letter for Babies!

Personalized Letter for Babies!

   This is a perfect idea for your nursery, or if you have a friend who will be having a baby soon you can purchase the supplies for her as a baby shower present!

What you will need:

1. Initial of the baby paint white, or a light color.  Also, it is very important that the paint you use is matte not glossy.

2. Chalk markers or paint pens, which can be purchased at Wal-Mart

  Step 1: 

The Middle on most letters is the longest and widest part, so it is best for the name.

  Step 2:

You can also add how much the baby weighed.

  Step 3:

Add the date and time of birth.

  Step 4:

Also featured on our website are the states.  You can choose the state where the baby was born and use the paint pen the draw a heart over the city where he was born.

What you will need:

1. NEW Valentines Shape Heart!

2. Pink or Red craft paint, also black

3. Burlap

4. Staple gun

5. Paint brush (small so you can write/paint), and a bristle brush

Step 1:

Paint the heart pink or red, allow to dry. 

Step 2:

I chose to paint in my own handwriting, if you don't like yours google some fonts in the letters you are using and use them as a guide.  Surprisingly this helps a lot, but remember perfection isn't everything, especially on the pieces that I distress, I like them to look imperfect. 

                      Step 3:
Next use the dry bristle brush to distress over the heart.  Dip the brush in black paint and then rub some off on a paper towel, you want to start with less and then build. You can always add.  

    Step 4:

 With the staple gun staple burlap to the back of the heart.  You don't have to worry about making it exactly straight because when you hang it with the burlap it is easy to adjust.
