PERSONALIZED NAMES
HANGING WOOD
WALL LETTERS
BABY'S NURSERY
KIDS ROOMS

Hanging wall letters are one of the best decorations for a nursery wall or any kids room. To put a child's name on their wall gives them a pride of ownership and a sense of place. For a child, seeing one's name displayed with style and pride on the wall is just one of many building blocks toward self esteem. Think about it, my mom is so proud of me that she put MY NAME up for all our friends to see! Wooden letters for nursery wall decor are so versatile and easy to personalize, too!

You can order the hand painted, wood wall letters and personalized baby names in the pictures so that they are ready to use as wall decor in your kids' bedrooms the minute they come to your door.

Sure, you could easily make them yourself if you have some paint, brushes and artistic ability, but why bother when they are so cheap? Hanging wooden letters are a popular wall decoration and you can have them custom made in any theme, color or style that you could ever want.

Even if you are not the most crafty mom in the world, this would be an easy baby craft to master! If you don't feel that you can free hand the alphabet letters that you will need, what about using some alphabet stencils? Get some ceramic tiles glazed in the best color to contrast with the trendy nursery wall painting ideas that you used!

There are several choices of materials that can be used to make your wall letters. As I mentioned above, you could get square ceramic tiles if you can find them in a workable shade for your nursery walls. Sometimes you can get them really cheap by contacting a contractor that lays tile. Many times they have tiles left over from a kitchen or bathroom job and will let you have them at a deep discount. If you smile and talk really sweet they might even GIVE them to you for nothing! Paint or stencil your baby's name with some free alphabet stencils, stick on some decorative wallies and there you have it!

You can find precut wooden shapes at craft or discount stores with the holes already drilled and ready to use for hanging your large, wooden wall letters on your baby's bedroom wall. I have seen the wooden shapes cut in stars, hearts and even large flowers. As you can see in the pictures above, pretty ribbons make lovely hangers for your wall letters.

Another option for your nursery decorating project would be to purchase some pre-primed canvas and cut it into whatever size or shape, however large or small that you want your wall letters or wall hanging to be. Canvas is very popular for making large wallhangings or banners for children's rooms. Canvas is very forgiving, if you make a mistake paint over it or at less than three dollars a yard, throw it away and start fresh! While canvas is a common choice, pretty much any heavy weight fabric will do.

If you have a set of metal snips and some hole punchers, you may want to paint your wall letters on scraps of tin . The advantage here would be that pieces of tin are lightweight and easy to cut into many different shapes and designs. Because of the danger of exposed, sharp edges I prefer to stick with wooden letters for nursery decorations.

Here's a fabulous idea if you don't mind making your artwork out of less than durable materials. Cut your squares out of cardboard and cover the cardboard with fabric, such as lovely gingham print or other prints suitable for nurseries. Paint your alphabet or baby's name using fabric paint or even use vinyl decals for your details. Some cute little ladybug nursery wallies or other cut outs would look really good on a check or polka dot background!

Whatever medium you choose as a foundation for letters to hang on your wall or even if you buy your personalized art you will have a fabulous baby nursery wall decoration that any kid will love and cherish for years! Wall decor takes on a whole new look with the addition of wooden letters spelling a baby's name. Unique Baby Gear, Bedding Themes and Nursery Decorating Ideas and Pictures
