Ribbon wooden letters

 

On the third day of Christmas My True Love gave to me...Three  Ribbon letter!! (more like five but just play along)

I am starting to want to place my last name everywhere around my home. Its weird but I feel very proud to have it up on my walls. My hubby keeps telling me that soon we will be running out of wall space. So I started looking at the ceiling lately  :) The plans I have that he has no clue about, oh how evil a wife I am. 

But enough of my hubby and on to my tutorial!

 

Lets begin with the materials:

1. Wood stainer

2. Wooden letters

 3.Ribbon

4.Stapler 

Easy enough right. 

 

First you will need to stain the wood the color you desire. However, keep in mind to do this in warm weather. I finished staining them just as a cold spell came in and they took forever to dry. They also smell really bad because of it. I stained them about 3 to 4 times. It all depends how dark you would like the wood to look.

 

Once the wood has dried you would want to choose your ribbon. I decided to use Christmas colors red and white for every other letter. When  Christmas is done I can just change the ribbon to a different color. Each ribbon is about 12 inches long. 

 

I folded the ribbon in half before I stapled it to the wood. 

 

The letter N was a funky letter to staple. I had to staple each end of the ribbon to the top of the letter. 

 

The end result are letters that I can hang from anything. I can add a rod and put it up or just nail them to the wall.  

I hope you enjoyed my third day of Christmas!

Till Later.
