My hubby and I went to an arts and crafts fair a while back and fell in love with these name frames. We spent more than I would like to admit, but we loved the concept. After that, we were noticing all kinds of objects that could represent letters. We decided to see if we could find enough so that we could make some for our families. It was so much fun looking around for the various letters. After we had the letters we needed, we purchased some frames from Target (they can also be found at Walmart) for around $1 each. We already had some wood scraps and spray paint, so we set to work on creating the frames. We just measured out how long our wood needed to be based on how many frames were required for the name, cut it, sanded the edges, spray painted it and then allowed it to dry. Then we had our photos printed and we slipped them into the frames. We used craft glue to attach the frames to the wood and then used some Command Picture Hanging Strips (love these!) on the back of the wood. It was such an easy project and dirt cheap to create. We love ours so much that we decided to share the photo letters that we have collected for you to use. Please note that these photos are for personal use only!

Enjoy!
