The Name blocks done and hung

Well one set anyway...
I have been working on blocks of wood with my granddaughters name on them and I have Sophie's done and hung

I painted the wood dark brown and then Mod Podge the paper to it and then I used pink and brown paper for the lettering and Mod Podge them on and then a final coat of Mod Podge to seal it....


I added checkered brown and white ribbon to the top and tied in a bow and it made it easy for hanging

I am happy with it, Shelby (the mom) is happy and so is Sophie... well hopefully she likes it to....
Did you notice the Princess sign in the middle I think that grouping looks really cute together...

So here is the makings of the other two block letters I need to make for Mckenna and Macie
Their bedroom is pink, green, and we are adding purple, so the blocks will be painted with these colors and a variety of paper with the same colors for the back and a deep purple vinyl for the lettering....I think they will turn out real cute don't you????
