Altered Wooden Alphabet Tutorial

March 3, 2009 By: Deena Price1 Comment

Both of my daughters have birthdays in the Spring and when I saw these fun alphabets, I just had to make them each one!  My daughters are sharing a room while we are living in Boston, so I wanted both of them to match but also to incorporate both of their favorite colors which are pink and blue.

Put your letter right side down on the patterned paper.  Trace around the letter and cut it out.

I like to paint the edges of the letter so that it has a finished edge.

Put a generous coat of Mod Podge on the top of the letter.

Adhere the patterned paper to the letter and then put a layer of Mod Podge on the patterned paper.

Once the Mod Podge has dried you can decorate the letter.  I used the supplies pictured below.  K&Company Stickers, Prima Flowers, Joann’s Essentials Word Tile and Black Dress Designs Paper Ribbon.

About Me

I am a stay-at-home-mom of 12 wonderful kids! My two oldest sons live on their own. And my 10 youngest (ages, 3, 4, 4, 7, 8, 9, 10, 12, 17 & 18) live at home! We have been fortunate enough to be foster parents for the last 5 years. We have adopted 7 kiddos out of foster care and currently have one foster daughter - life is crazy and busy, but we LOVE it! I have been crafting for about 20 years. I started with stamping and crocheting and my hobby has grown from there! I always say, "I haven't met a craft I didn't like!" At this time, I spend the majority of my craft time crocheting because I can crochet in the family room while the kids play! Although I am an extremely busy mom, I spend my evenings creating! I love to make gifts for my family and friends. Feel free to leave a comment and tell me what you like or what you don't like or what you would like to see more of!
