Alphabet Blocks

These are great!

Do you paint the letters free hand or use a stencil?

They look great, I especially like how you made the letters big and bold, better for the kids. Nice job.

“Hey, I actually use a foam stamp for the alphabet blocks. I think I got them at Wal-mart. The trick is use a paint brush and put a thin layer on the stamp, then stamp it. Cheap craft paint works pretty good because the finish you put on them will protect the paint anyways. Also it doesn’t bleed into the wood. I have tried many different ways of making that process faster but the results are always sloppy or just not very good. If you decide to make them and find another way that works good, please let me know. Thanks for the complement and talk to you later.”

I like these better than any others I’ve seen and will make some.
What did you use for a topcoat? Varnish?
Wall Mart is so big I don’t know if I can find the stamps there, do you remember what department they are in?

Thanks, Great job!
