This idea, I have to give credit to my friend Tabitha. When it comes to wooden letters on the wall, take it to a whole new level by adding ribbon to tie it in with the rest of the room, turning the ordinary into extraordinary. When choosing your letters and ribbon, consider the following:
1. The Size of the Letters. Obviously, you want to make sure you have enough wall space, but you also want to buy enough ribbon so you don't run out mid-project.
2. The Ribbon. I'd recommend a minimum of 1 inch width, especially with a pattern or images. You don't want the details getting lost across the room. At the same time, you don't want to ribbon so busy it draws too much attention to one spot.
3. The Amount. I always rely on the KISS method; Keep It Simple, Stupid. Two, maybe three different ribbons per letter. One is just fine as long as it's wide enough. More than that and you might as well paper mache the sucker.
4. The Attachment. This depends on your project. If you think you'll be reusing the letters every time you redecorate, or you want your "Welcome" to reflect the changing of the seasons, consider attaching the ribbon to the letters with something easily removable. In the project shown, a hot glue gun was used.
All the necessary supplies can be found at your local craft store.
