Painted Wooden Letters

I wanted to make some wooden letters spelling out my daughter's name -- she doesn't have a nursery, she's in our bedroom with us, so I thought it would be nice to hang them above her bed and give her some of her "own" space.

I posted on parenting, but they are sooo pretty. You really could start a side business doing those.

Are those painted freehand or did you have a stencil or something? Soooo pretty!

I did it freehand -- on the pink one I had to repaint it pink and then start over because I messed up -- but it's all freehand.

Those are adorable, I am working on my boys letters, I am painting them like baseballs, white with red stitching. I hope they come out even close to as good as your's did.
