Pinterest Projects- Canvas Letters

I am going to be posting a few of the Pinterest projects that I've done over the last few months. I have not done as many lately as I would like- due to the lack of time. (two kids under two) But- I am also going to put on here some that I made last Fall that I didn't post about!

Many of you may have seen this pin floating around:

I wanted to make these for Gus and Maddie. To begin, I went to Hobby Lobby in search of fabric. For Maddie's, I took a swatch of her crib bumper material with me and matched it with all the fabrics and ribbon. This took some time since I decided to get multiple fabrics. For Gus, I just got two fabrics, and the colors in his room are easy to match. I found 8x10 canvases at Hobby Lobby for a good price. I hot glued the fabric on the canvas and then hot glued the ribbon around the edges

For Gus's letters, I bought wooden letters at Hobby Lobby. I then painted them. To attach them to the canvas, I poked a small hole and put a metal fastener (brad) through. I hot glued it to keep it in place and hung the letter on it. Here is how his turned out:

For Maddie's room, I did everything the same for the fabric and ribbon.

 I chose different letters for her, and Josh spray painted them white for me. They were much lighter and smaller than Gus's, so I was able to just hot glue them onto the canvases. And here are how her's turned out:

I like the way these look, and if I decide to change their rooms up in a few years, I won't feel bad getting rid of them since they weren't a huge expense. I also think the fabric might pull off of the canvas easily, and the canvas could be reused! This was an easy fun project that I really enjoyed.
