Chunky wooden letters, especially in the larger sizes, take time to paint and decorate to a high standard. If you are looking to purchase such letters from companies that place a lot of emphasis on individuality and 'make to order' rather than shipping in an abundance of the same letters made elsewhere, then this will obviously come at a cost. But the end result is that you are left with something unique, that is made with love and of good quality, rather than the same old product you have come across in all your friends and children's friends houses.
If however, you are willing to consider cheap alternatives.... then I most definately can help.
If you've fallen in love with some wooden letters, but budget is an issue you may need to re-consider the following:
- Size - Could you reduce the size of the letters to reduce the cost?
- Location - If you can relocate the letters to a smaller space, you could possibly get away with smaller letters
- Initials - Using the initials of a child's name will reduce the number of letters you need
- Single Wooden Name - you could purchase an extra large letter (the initial of the name) and include the whole name within the letter. This way you would only need to buy one letter and the larger size will make sure it's still prominent on the wall
- Acrylic letters are a cheaper alternative to wooden letters, as they do not require painting and varnishing. They can still be decorated or sold plain and can also be provided in a variety of sizes
- Mirror Letters (acrylic and shatterproof - so child friendly) also look fabulous and come in different sizes but again at a reduced cost.
- Door Names with Acrylic letters - this would reduce the cost even further and would still make a special impact on the bedroom door.
