Original Idea From: Windmill Lettering |
I loved this idea so I went to JoAnn Fabrics and bought a piece of thin wood that was about $5. Then I went to Walmart and bought a pack of wood letters. They were $10 but it came with 100 letters. The letters on the board from Windmill Lettering are vinyl. They look really nice but I was able to recreate a similar look for the same price AND have wood letters left over to use on future projects.
I gave my board a light sanding and spray painted it with black spray paint. Then I spray painted the letters cream. With a hot glue gun, I glued on each of the letters and the clothes pins and wa-la!
I decided not to put my son's name on it because I have two kids and wanted to be able to use it for both of them. You could do the same or just make a board for each child. I also made my board a little larger than the original pinner's.

Up next...my new wall art made from the wood of my DIY Wall Art project that bombed!
We must think alike, because I made a different version of these as Christmas presents and loved them too! Looks great!
