I was strolling around some blogs for an alphabet idea for our playroom wall and came across my very favorite option at a blog called HowDoesShe? I am currently obsessed with my Silhouette so it was a pretty easy sell. However - didn't really think it all through. the whole 26 squares, 26 mounting plywood pieces, sanding the 26 squares, sanding the 26 mounting pieces, painting the 52 squares (thankful for said superstar sister-in-law who helped!), cutting the 26 papers, glueing 26 papers, picking 26 vinyl letters, cutting 26 vinyl letters, mounting 26 boards on plywood squares, installing 26 frame mounting claws, measuring, remeasuring, leveling and hanging 26 squares onto the wall. 26. there are 26 letters in the alphabet.
But it looks FANTASTIC! And I love it! :)
I'm also looking forward to the day where I get to be the one to patch 26 little holes in the wall! :)
Make sure to check out Danae's finished project here! (Like how I set you up there Danae? - pretty sure you mentioned you were waiting for me to 'inspire' your post....?!)

Looks like a LOT of work. That's the crazy thing about the alphabet though - 26. Very cute, Ralna. You (and Danae!) did a fantastic job! I'd love to see a photo from a little farther back to see how it fills the wall! :)
Looks great Ralna....where DO you find the time for all this?
I am impressed!
Looks amazing!! However, the super-star sister-in-law title really should be given to you seeing as how you've finished 26 and I haven't even finished my 5...
And in light of Thanksgiving (when we started this project) I'm so thankful for you and how you've perfected the art of persuasion. :)
Gotta say though not so thankful for the link...
Love it, I have been wanting to do something like this in Jake's room. So...how much would you charge to come and help me :)
