Painted Letters Tutorial

I'm back from my supprise mid-week trip and I have a fun tutorial to share with you guys. I was browsing the craft section at my local walmart a while back and found wooden letters and couldn't resist spelling out my name. I grabed up the first four letters of my name and proceeded to take them back with me to my dorm. I thought they would be very useful in helping to identify my side of the dorm. I picked my roomate up some letters too as a welcome gift. After I moved into my apatment I painted mine red to match the work section in my room. Now whenever I'm giving gifts to my college friends, I try to throw some letters (that spell out their names) painted in their favorite color.

This would be a very simple yet enjoyable project to do with the kiddies as well. Enjoy Crafty Habit on this lovely Monday!
