Alphabet Display DIY.

Here's how I made the alphabet display for the boys room. Thanks Holly for helping me with the idea. She posted this really cute tutorial a while back. I had these cards and knew I had to do something with them but it took her creativity to help me figure out how to put it all together in an inexpesive way. And great news ... I looked and you can still buy the cards online here and right now you can get 40% off if you order by March 31st! ... LUCKY!!
Then I bought two pieces of white stryafoam board and cut it up allowing for about a 1/2 in. edge around the border.

To make it a little more interesting I used a regular ink pad in a bronze color and smudged the edges. You can definetly skip this step if you want to keep it simple.

Then I used a spray adhesive and sprayed the back of the cards and then adhered them to the board. I used sticky tack to put it up on the wall. It was really that easy and inexpensive!!


Sorry the last picture did not turn out very clear. I do not have good picture taking skills.

Yay! I love it! And I'm glad you were able to figure out the edges--they look great. And I love your arrangement! So cute! (And I'm super impressed with how un-packed you are already, by the way!)
