Start with a wooden letter. I made two for me and one for my niece. My sister is making a custom headboard for her and adding wooden "M"s for her..so I painted her one using her favorite Georgia Bulldog Colors! Go DAWGS!!
Paint both sides of the letter, let dry completely. I use a water base paint, easy clean up and quick dry.
After deciding what type of pattern I wanted to do I started with a white outline. I love the giraffe pattern so thats what I decided to paint. I alternated between the black and the red inside the pattern spots.
This picture shows the M before the paint is finished drying. Touch up when it's dry to ensure a cleaner look. When it's completely dry I spray a gloss on one side, let dry then flip and spray the other side. The picture of the L & M shows a glossed and finished product! After you spray the gloss and it's dry, you can write on it with a sharpe marker!!! The M was going to be added to a project so I sent it like that but mine were going to be hung on the wall for a decoration, so I added ribbon to the back with a hot glue gun! Simple!
