DIY Felt Letter Boards.

Did you know you can make your own letter boards? I love how versatile and fun they are with their clever pun and inspirational quotes. They're perfect for displaying motivating or funny messages with your friends or family.

I recently bought a letterboard and while I'm not sure I could make my own from scratch (some of these tutorials look hard!) I definitely think I could give one a makeover after checking out all these fantastic letter board craft projects.

Cute Letter Board Ideas.

With the letter board trend still going strong now is the perfect time to create a cute customised version of your own. The easily customizable boards are a cute way to display a quote in a room.

They can be made in any size, colour or frame that you want. You can go for classic black and white, rainbow stripes, purple ombre or a red heart if you've got some acrylic paint to hand.

I love the oversized pink one from A Beautiful Mess. Not only because it's pink and massive but also because it uses large letterboard letters as well.

DIY Letter Board.

There are a few different ways you can make your own letter board. The first one involves lining up wooden dowels and glueing them down to an existing frame.

Place the felt on top and press down into the grooves using a thin metal ruler. This is probably the trickiest part of the project.

Another way would be to cut some foam core board into thin strips and glue this down leaving a 2mm gap in between each strip. Use an old gift card or credit card to push the felt piece into place.

And for anyone who's worried about getting their pieces of dowel lined up straight definitely check out the rainbow letter board below by Aww Sam.

She cleverly used a single-faced corrugated cardboard sheet as her base. Hot glue is run along the ridges and then the felt is pressed down on top.

How To Use A Felt Letter Board.

There are countless ways you could use a letter board in your home. Here are some of my favourites:

Display an inspirational quote or positive affirmation.
As a meal planner in the kitchen.
Hang as part of a gallery wall.
As a menu board at a party.
To show off your favourite song lyrics.
For different seasonal greetings.
A photo prop for special memories. Think month-by-month baby milestones, first day at school, birthdays and even engagements and weddings.

Hang them on a wall or prop them up on a shelf or table for personalised home decor you can change up as often as you like.
