Do you want a simple way to decorate and personalize an area of your home? Are you looking for something new, yet easy to do that will give a room a splash of color and charm? Perhaps you should think about wooden hanging letters. These are easy to use and versatile in that you have many options when choosing what you want to do with them. They range in price from very cheap to more expensive, but this is one way that almost anyone on any budget can add a little something to make a room look new and different. You can go simple, or if you are crafty, you can go all out for a very unique look.
Wooden hanging letters are a great touch when you are putting together a nursery for a new baby, or when you are redecorating your children's bedrooms as they grow. You can find the letters to spell out their first name, or perhaps you want to spell out their first and middle names. Most craft stores carry these in all types, and you can easily find them online as well. Some come in packages with two or three of the same letter, or you can buy them as singles so you know you have exactly what you want to use. These can make great gifts for moms with a baby on the way too.
For children, decorating these can be a lot of fun. They can even do their own if you wish. Buy the wooden hanging letters to spell out their names, and then offer them paints, glitters, and anything else you think they would like to use to decorate their name. You may also want to get an acrylic spray to cover them when done to not only preserve them, but to make sure the paint does not smudge on the wall when you hang them. You can hang them straight across, or up and down, or in any manner you think fits your child's personality and the style of the room.
They can also be used to spell out your family name if you want to use wooden hanging letters in a more common area of your home. You won't want these to be as colorful as the ones you have used for your children, but you can choose color that compliments what you have done with your home dcor. You can also find a wood stain to match the other wood you have in the room. Hang them up on the wall as simple decoration in any area of the home you wish. Some people like to hang these in the foyer, while others may add them to a wall where they display a lot of family pictures.
When you put your wooden hanging letters up on the wall, you have a few choices. You can use nails, but you can also find newer methods of hanging them that will not damage the walls. There will be no nail holes or marred paint that way. If you are sure you want them hung for a long time to come, a more permanent method is just fine, but most people move them around or want to change them at some point. They are usually light, so hanging them with any method should be easy enough.
