How to Decorate Wood Letters With Ribbon

Wooden letters can be decorated with many materials, including ribbon.

Wooden letters, which are found at craft stores, can be decorated to suit the decor of any room. Decorate wooden letters with ribbon to spell out a child's name for a nursery or to put your family's last name on the wall in the living room.

Things You'll Need

• Wooden letters
• Paint
• Paintbrush
• Pencil
• Sheet of card stock for each letter (large enough to fit the letter)
• Scissors
• Craft glue
• Ribbon

Instructions

1. Paint each letter with a coat of paint that coordinates with the color or colors of ribbon with which you want to decorate the letters.

2. Trace each letter onto a sheet of card stock.

3. Cut the letter tracings out of the card stock.

4. Cover each card stock letter with strips of ribbon, using craft glue, stacked so the card stock doesn't show through the ribbon strips.

5. Let the craft glue dry completely.

6. Trim excess ribbon from around the edges of the card stock letters.

7. Attach the back of the card stock letters to the front of the wooden letters with craft glue, so the front of the wooden letters are now covered in ribbon.

8. Tie loops of ribbon around the top of each letter to hang them from the wall.
