Monogram Wooden Letters

Recently while wandering about Hobby Lobby, I found myself in the wooden area.

Normally I don't buy anything in that section as I don't have any spectacular painting skills.

But I was drawn to a couple of pieces.

 

I thought that I could do something with the initials of some friends who are getting married.

I ended up making this wooden monogram.

I started with two large wooden letters.

Then I painted them with two coats of denim color.  

Once they dried, I lightly sanded them.

Then I painted a wooden heart red and used it to attach the letters to one another with a hot glue gun.

Because I was making these to be a centerpiece, I wanted them to be able to stand up.

I glued a scrabble tile holder to the back to act as a stand.

Here it is as a centerpiece at the bridal shower.

 

I was so tickled with how it turned out that I decided that I need to make one for my hubby and I.

Only I'll attach a hanger to the back so I can hang it on the wall.

 

Thanks for stopping by and God bless.

 

The generous soul will be made rich,

and he who waters will also be watered himself.
