Make: easy alphabet art
Another version of my knock off alphabet art here, this one was done in red for a new baby boy.
Here's the original done in MS rainwater:
And another one done in sage green to match the baby's bedding:
Here's how I made the art:
1. Cut 3 3/4" plywood pieces at 9.5" x 12.5".
Prime and paint two coats Behr tile red, distress edges and stain Minwax early american:
2. Apply stamp ink to edges of cards for aged look.
3. Arrange cards on boards. Start with the middle board then use that as your template for the 2 side boards to keep everything lined up:
4. Use carpet tacks, I prefer #3 black but #6 will work (the head is slightly larger).
The carpet tacks are slightly raised from the board:
5. For the extra 27th card in the middle, trace one of the cards onto cardstock, cut out and paint any small artwork you choose:
I've found the K & Company alphabet cards at Michaels in the past, also online at Amazon and just recently here.
One pack of cards contains 2 full alphabet sets, bargain!
