I bought these big gold letters from Hobby Lobby. They were half off so I got them for $5 a piece. They are at least 12in tall and then 10-12in wide depending on the letter. The only problem with them is, they are not our style, at all. Here's what I did to make them totally original and our style.
First here's what they looked like in the beginning:
First here's what they looked like in the beginning:
First, I painted them white so that the colors would show up brighter.
We don't get the newspaper so I used construction paper under them. lol
Next, I painted them red.
Ater that, I used silver paint and put drip/splash marks on them.
The color is actually much redder but the flash is messing with the color.
All I used to paint them was acrylic paint. I already had mine but they are just the little bottles of Apple Barrel acrylic paint. You can get them at any craft store or Walmart has them also. I don't remember how much they were but I think they were less than $2. Now I just have to hang them! lol
