Decoupaged Letters

I have seen this done a million times in the blog world and have always wanted to give it a try. I thought it would be PERFECT for Annie's baby shower that I threw for her a few weeks ago. They were so easy and looked so cute! I bought these cardboard letters at Hobby Lobby (my fav store!!)..I think I paid about $15 for them.
I spray painted them with Rustoleum's Heirloom White. (the clothes pins were for another project I did for her shower)
I found some really cute scrapbook paper on sale (also Hobby Lobby) that matches this cute chandelier that she re-did :) This is her mom helping her sort through and organize baby clothes!
I traced the letters on the scrapbook paper and cut it out. Make sure when you trace the letters that the right side of the scrapbook paper will show...I messed up on that E and had to re-do it :)
***please excuse messy "work area"***
Then I glued the paper to the letters with good ol Mod Podge..
More Mod Podge on top to seal it and give it a finished look..
VERY easy and SO cute!
They made a cute decoration for the shower & also a great gift! Annie is going to attach ribbon to them and hang them in her nursery :)
