Crafts galore...part deux

Now I'm thinking I should have combined this with the other post. Oh well! I'm ok with being a post whore...

Since my sis asked me to baptize her baby, I thought it would be a nice gesture to give her a gift made by yours truly. I ended up decorating my nephew's name. I purchased the wooden letters from Michaels (local craft store). I also used white acrylic paint, scrapbooking paper, ribbon and glue.

After I painted the back of the letters white, I cut the scrapbooking paper using scissors and an Exacto knife. I then glued the paper to the letters and applied another thin coat of glue.
Once the letters dried I used a staple gun to attach the ribbon. Since I helped paint his nursery I knew what colors would match the walls. These letters will fit perfectly and I'm told they will be right next to his crib.
