Make your Own "Boutique" Nursery Letters for a few bucks!

As promised, here are the steps we took to make the letters in my baby's room. I spotted some letters similar to this in a local boutique for $31 each(like these) and my mom suggested I try to make some on my own.

First, I purchased some cheap frames (mine were from Walmart - they were originally black) for only $3 each

Then, I purchased some scrap book paper for the background. There are so many patterns and colors available you can choose whatever matches your decor! I got mine for less than $1 a sheet at a local craft store.

I also purchased some wooden letters. Lots of craft stores have these. I got mine at Hobby Lobby for $1.50 each (they were on sale 1/2 price!).

I also bought white and navy blue spray paint for $0.88 a can.

Total cost for 5 finished "boutique" nursery letters: $30 Total cost for 5 letters - had I purchased them (which I couldn't even fathom!): $155 I did all of my letters for about the price of one!

Here's a step by step of how I assembled them:

1.My husband spray painted the frames (since they were originally black he had to spray them white and then blue to make sure the color was right).

2. I cut the scrapbook paper to fit the frames
3. I hot glued the paper down to the back of the frame.

4. I hot glued the letters down on top of the paper - the letters were already white, but you can paint them any color you choose.
5. Viola! Boutique Style letters for a fraction of the cost!
