New Baby Gift Idea

I should clarify that title – new baby, not new gift idea!  My daughter’s friend had her baby boy recently and I wanted to get a gift for them.  While in Hobby Lobby recently, it struck me to do his name with those unfinished wood letters and some scrapbook paper.  Certainly not an original idea, but cute, personal and inexpensive enough to make a nice gift.  I picked up the letters for his name ~ Nolan ~ some craft paint, and a few scrapbook papers {Baby Boy is the name of the line}. 

I traced the letters on the papers I wanted to use first, then painted the letters. After they dried I Mod Podged the paper onto each letter.  Once that dried I did two coats over the top {letting dry between coats}. 

I think I’m going to pick up some of those new adhesive Command wall hangers that I’ve been seeing {they look like velcro} and include them in the gift box as an option for her, in case she doesn’t have a shelf to prop them on.
