How to Paint Wooden Letters
1 - Dust off sawdust. We try to get most of it off, but sometimes we miss a little bit.
2 - Paint with your choice of paint and favorite color. Allow to dry.
3 - Sand with 150 or 220 grit sandpaper.
4 - Repeat steps 1 to 4 two more times (you may need to paint another coat if the color isn't providing a good coverage).
5 - Decorate with your favorite ribbons, stencil or hand paint designs or even use paper and scrapbook the letter!
6 - Enjoy and show off to your friends (don't forget to let them know about us!).
We use both house paint and craft paint. Most anything that works for wood will be fine. We use foam brushes for painting as it seems to stand up to the abuse better. Paint brushes tend to be hard to get into the small spots.
We have found that by sanding first, it ends up taking longer. The wood always end up being rough after painting due to the water in the paint.
