My sister-in-law is having a baby girl and her name will be Karis. As a baby shower gift, I decided to make her personalized letters that spell Karis. I thought these would be a fun way to decorate the babies room. I had so much fun making them! Although, if I had to do it over again I would have made a few changes, but overall I am happy with them!
It was a pretty fun process,…and all you need are a few items!
Wood Letters
Acrylic Paint
Puffy Paint
Foam Brush
Thin Paint Brush
All of these items can be purchased at Michaels Craft Store.
First, I started with the wooden letters…
I painted the front side first with my foam brush…
Then I painted the back sides of the letters…
Then the front again, making sure there weren’t any clumps.
After this I allowed the letters to dry for about 10 minutes. Acrylic Paint dries quickly!
Then, I began to lightly sketch the design I wanted for the letters. My sister-in-law’s theme is “Love Bug” from the Carter’s line at Babies “R” Us, so I tried to draw the same pattern on the letters so that it will match her bedroom theme!
After this I began to paint the green stems and leaves with the acrylic paint.
Then I added flowers, butterflies, and ladybugs with the puffy paint.
Puffy Paint takes a bit more time to dry, so be careful!
This is the finished product!
So fun!! Welcome to the world, little Baby Karis!

I love the Karis letters! And what can I say, I’m biased to the name as my daughter has it as well! You have done a beautiful job with everything you’ve put on this blog ~ God has given you a wonderful talent. Thank you for sharing your ideas with others.
Love,
Christie
