Gathering Supplies for the Letter Monogram Wall Art

I looked around Hobby Lobby for a letter C that was already painted but really didn’t find anything that was big enough or flat enough…until I went to the unfinished wood section where I was able to snatch this baby up…and for dirt cheap with my 40% off coupon!! Woohoo!! What’s up…that’s right I get excited about a bargain!!! Enough about me walking around Hobby Lobby, let me show you how to make this!

Making the Letter Monogram Wall Art

Alright so to get started making your letter monogram wall art, paint your letter C with your chalkboard paint! I was the worst on this project at taking pictures, I know I took some but cannot find them so maybe I deleted them somehow! Lol! But I know you are so smart you can achieve this project even with my limited number of pictures!!😉

First I painted the letter C that I found in the unfinished wood section at Hobby Lobby…this bad boy is 18″ tall! Um, I’ll take one of every letter! Lol! I painted it with the same paint I used on my large framed chalkboard wall.

Next, I cut my foam board down to fit inside of my frame…just measure the back of the frame where the indention is and cut as close to that size as you can…I cut it to fit pretty snug fitting so that it wouldn’t fall out!

After ironing my ivory fabric, I cut it 2-3 inches wider than my foam board and wrapped it around the back of the board and hot glued it as tight as I could pull it! I was so surprised that the hot glue would hold so tight and well, but it did indeed!!

I originally did not plan on having the stripes, so I glued the letter C onto the foam board first, even though if I were doing it over again I would probably paint them first but it will work just fine either way!! I used a lot of wood glue to make sure it saturated through the fabric and would actually adhere it all together! I used jugs of water to put constant pressure on the letter C while it dried! You can use hot glue on this part if you would rather, or even fabric glue!

Then I became aware of the fact that I did not like how boring it was with the plain ivory fabric and chalkboard C so I came up with adding the stripes and I am so glad I did because that is when I decided I LOVED it!! I just used painter’s tape to tape off the C and then also used painter’s tape to tape the large red stripe area, I let that dry, and then painter’s taped the area for the blue stripes!

I used regular craft acrylic paint for this part…if I was painting on something like a pillow with this paint I would use a textile medium to make the paint more flexible but since this will just hang on the wall we can just use the paint by itself!

Then I just stuffed the foam board into the frame…I say stuffed because I made mine fit so snug I felt like I was stuffing it in there!! LOL!

Ta-da!!! I totally love it!! Find a place to hang it or a table to place it on…mine was an open back frame so it already had hanging hardware! Yeah!

How simple was that letter monogram wall art to make?! And now you have such a cute statement piece to display! Enjoy projects for kid’s rooms? You may like these suitcase shelves or this set of wall storage baskets!
