I was asked to make wall art incorporating the name Morris, and I remembered a photo letter art project from around Christmas time by Shanty 2 Chic. Here is my version, inspired by the lovely tutorial from Whitney! I made it using a piece of hardboard left over from another project, 6 Dollar Tree frames, some spray paint, E6000, 2 washers and a rope for the hanging mechanism. The photo letters are available for free on Flickr (thanks Whitney).
To finish, I drilled 2 holes on top, glued washers over them and ran canvas rope through for the hanging mechanism. I am digging the industrial look of the final piece. This is the first time I have ever used the Krylon Stainless Steel spray paint… love it.
I pinned this and within ten minutes it got repinned about 50 times!
OH EM GEE! You know I’m the biggest WORD NERD evah, and so I love this!!! (Pretty sure you did this one just for me, but Shhhh! I won’t tell.) LOL
Good job, Johnnie!
beautiful! I tried this out today and it’s harder than it looks… yours has turned out really well. I’ll do my younger son’s name when I get a bit more courage.. it’s the longest in our family.
What happened? Are you just being overly critical of yourself? I would love to know more.
I spent a few hours pouring through architectural images I found on the web, took me ages to find the “S”! Then I decided to put them altogether in one graphic. I think I did it the hard way. LOL
