How to Decorate Wooden Letters for Name Plaques, Handmade Gifts and Wall Art
Paint them, cover them in fabric, sprinkle in glitter, or wrap in ribbon, there are lots of crafty ways you can decorate wooden letters. Create headings, name plates, signs, décor for special occasions and home decorations!
I had an old frame that has been in need of a face lift for some time, so I decided to give it a spruce up with some craft paint and then sanded it for a shabby chic look, and I’ve also used craft acrylic paint to decorate some wooden letters for my nephews bedroom . . .
You will need
- Wooden letters of your choice
- Selection of craft acrylic paint
- Paintbrush
- Wooden frame
- Wooden letters – I’ve used two X and O letters
- Turquoise, gold and white craft paint
- Single paper sheet
- Sandpaper
- Glue Gun
- Start by painting your frame white and leave to dry.
- Meanwhile paint your letters with a layer of gold paint. Once dry, paint them turquoise and leave to set.
- Take your dried frame and start to sandpaper off the white paint to reveal the grey underneath to add a shabby chic look.
- Repeat the process with the letters until you get the desired effect.
- Take your chosen patterned paper and cut to size, then display in the frame – remove the glass.
- With your glue gun apply glue to the back of the letters and position in place.
- Leave to dry and then display!
1. Start by roughly sketching out your design on the letter in pencil first. I went for an animal/nature theme for my letters, but the possibilities are endless when it comes to designing your own letters.
2. Go over your design using craft acrylic. Make sure the first coat is completely dry before applying the next one, and then leave to dry. For a home decor project why not upcycle an old frame and create some unique and individual wall art for your home.

Nursery Ideas: Wooden Wall Letters
Wooden letters add the perfect finish to any nursery or child's bedroom. Once you have decided on the style and theme of your nursery, why not personalise it? What child wouldn't love to see their name across their bedroom wall?
We have a range of high quality, hand painted wooden letters - in lots of different designs, colours and sizes so we are sure we'll have something to suit.
What's more - we offer different colour options on all of our designs so that you can match them perfectly to the nursery or bedroom decor. In fact we can paint the letters pretty much any colour, so can offer you a truly bespoke product.
For the Girls - Wooden Wall Letters.
LEXI. These gorgeous wooden letters are painted pale pink and come with butterflies and white flower bead trails.
They can be painted almost any colour and we have a selection of colours for the butterflies - to help you match the letters perfectly to your decor.
ELISA. These fairy themed wooden letters come in hot pink as standard, but can be painted almost any colour - however the fairy colours can not be changed and the hearts are only available in pink and lilac.
We have sold these letters in green with the same decorations and they have been well received. Other colour options could include pale pink, purple/ lilac or candy pink.
AVA. These stylish free standing letters are currently available in one size - 15cm high with a thickness of 18mm (which is very chunky).
They will look beautiful perched on a shelf, windowsill or chest of drawers. The letters can be painted any colour and the decorations are available in beige (as shown), pink and blue.
FREYA. We love these green and pink letters, they look great especially if you are looking to get away from just pink.
Whilst the decorations are not available in any other colour, the letters can be painted different colours - the most common requests have included white, hot pink, candy pink and pale pink.
BELLA. Our pink bow letters will look beautiful in a baby or little girls bedroom.
Again you can request pretty much any letter colour and we have bows available in pink, beige and blue.
For the Boys - Wooden Wall Letters.
ZAC. Our lovely animal themed letters look great and make a bright and fun addition to a little boy's bedroom or nursery. You can of course buy these letters for a little girl as well, as the letters can be painted any colour. Animals are subject to stock and we will use what we believe works best for the colour and shape of the letter. (See red letters at the end of this post).
Archie. This is one of our new designs using a different font and uppercase and lowercase letters.
These letters are a great fit for a sea or boat themed bedroom or nursery - or even just to add a splash of colour and fun to a bedroom.
LEO. Our space themed wall letters have been a firm favourite over the years and continue to be very popular.
These also look great in Royal Blue if you feel that navy blue is too dark and in red. Decorations remain the same.
FINLAY. Our simple pale blue letters decorated in stars are perfect for a modern, less is more, bedroom or nursery.
They look lovely on the wall but can also be painted in any colour with either the pale blue and clear stars, or white and clear stars.
JOEL. Perfect for any dinosaur lover. These letters can be painted with or without the spots and come with a dinosaur on each letter. Letters can be painted any colour and the dinosaurs are also made from mdf, so can be painted any colour too.
I hope this post has helped give you some ideas for your child's nursery or bedroom. We haven't included all of our letters here so please do visit the website to see the complete range of wooden wall letters.
We also sell name plaques, personalised canvases and much much more if you are looking for a special gift for Christmas, Christenings, Birthdays or New Babies. And remember, if there is something specific you would like - just ask and we'd be happy to look into it for you.
