Mod Podge Wooden Letters for Your Classroom: DIY!

We’ve all seen them…. those unique wooden letters decorated so nicely they could be featured in a home-decor magazine.  You can buy them online at small boutique shops, but you’d have to pay dearly.  Why not make your own?  That way, you can personalize them and color-coordinate them to go with your classroom theme!  It’s not hard; I promise!  Otherwise, I would be going without them! 😉

I wanted a nice set of these letters to spell R-E-A-D, so that I could hang them on the wall above my classroom library.  I also wanted them to match my newest Chalkboard and Burlap Classroom Decor that I am planning on using next year (can’t wait!). So, I headed to the craft store (Michael’s was my choice), bought the necessary supplies, and began my little crafting session.

Here are the supplies you will need:

• wooden letters
• lightweight scrapbook paper (if you choose heavy paper, it will become wavy once you add the mod podge)
• Matte-finish Mod-Podge and Tacky Glue
• foam brush, scissors, pencil
• lightweight sandpaper
• coordinated embellishments
