My son Jake has just started learning his letters and I thought that an ABC wall in his playroom (full tour here) would be a perfect addition. To make the wall more playful, I really wanted the alphabet wall to have a variety of fonts, sizes and colors. The wall has been a huge hit so far with all of our toddler friends. But a wall like this doesn’t just have to reside in a playroom. It would also look great as nursery decor or in a kids room. You can also change the look and feel to fit any empty wall space in the house. Letter art is loved by adults too!
Here is where I found some of my letters:
A – Mr. Woody
B – Painted from Michael’s
F – Only $0.99 at Restoration Hardware Baby& Child
H – Cardboard wrapped in yarn
I – Michael’s
K – Edie’s Lab
M – Urban Outfitters
N – Michael’s letter in empty frame
O – Amazon Toy Steering Wheel
Q – Chalkboard from Shabby Decor
V – Only $0.99 at Restoration Hardware Baby& Child
W – LAX to YVR
X – Two rulers
Y – Hobby Lobby
& – Edie’s Lab
Z – Mr. Woody
The best part about this alphabet wall project is that anyone could make wall art like this. It doesn’t require you to be a professional at DIY projects or crafting. The possibilities are endless.

I would love for you to share this on our blog hop today: http://www.sneakyspoons.com/2013/02/frugal-crafty-home-blog-hop_10.html
Hi Sara – thanks so much for stopping by and for the invite. I just linked up!
Stopping by from Frugal Crafty Home Blog Hop. The letters turned out GREAT! That's such a cute decoration for a little boy's room. I read your bio and I'm also a wife of a cyclist enthusiast. Looks like we have a lot in common!
Thanks for stopping by Carrie. I loved that post on your blog about indoor sledding. We will for sure be trying that out!
Love this idea! Thanks for sharing! Pinning:D
This is so neat and fun! I love the stripes on the 'Z'. Makes me think of an orange zebra. Wouldn't that be a sight?
I'm pinning. This would be so cute in a playroom!
Erin, thanks so much for stopping by and for the sweet comment. I love your Family Household Binder post on your site. I can't wait to make one!
Thanks so much! And that means a lot coming from you as I've seen on your blog how insanely creative and crafty you are!
So cute I love that X two rulers… sooooo smart. great job.
I appreciate the compliment. I had lots of creative ideas for other letters, but when it came down to it I realized that it would probably be better to get it up before my son is in high school ;-).
Looks so amazing! Especially love the striped Z!
The E I love it do you remember the store?
I love that E, unfortunately I found it at a flea market. It was part of an old sign. I would check out this site http://www.craftcuts.com. You could make something similar. They have a ton of fonts, sizes and colors to choose from.
What a unique idea. So colorful too!
Very cute!
I love how this turned out. So cute and colorful!
I love this idea for a playroom. Pinning! Going to have to do this.
I love everything about this!!!!
You totally should! There are so many options and ways to do it and the kids love it!
Thanks for listing where you got every letter!! I love that! Just posted on Craft Gossip!!
