It was my niece's birthday earlier this month. She turned three and moved into her "big girl bed" complete with new sheets, bedspread, etc. So for her present, I really wanted to do something that would go along with her big girl room, and I've been wanting to decoupage letters for a while now. So she, lucky girl, was my guinea pig.
I got some of the prefab wooden letters at Joann's (On sale! Score!) And I even got the pre-primed ones, and then let my natural laziness roll, and didn't even paint them.

A few foam brushes and some decoupage medium later...
...And I had this.
I traced the letters onto the scrapbook paper, cutting them a little smaller, but it still wasn't quite small enough because the paper stretched when the glue got it wet! Grrr! Next time I will work with tiny pieces of paper, and layer and tear them more like traditional decoupage.
Anyway, when it was all said and done, it turned out pretty cute, and my niece was excited to see her name all spelled out when she opened her present.
