It's all done. Not what I had in my head to do, but good. I'm letting the glue dry over night and then I'll hang it over the door.

I am lucky enough to have a nice scroll saw. So I printed the letters out on computer (teenaged font) and glued the paper to the wood on back and cut the letters out of particle board. I could not get my printer to print reversed and I had no carbon paper, so it tried my patience. Since there was no need to be exact, it was ll okay.

I cut the back piece of the scrap from the same piece the letter came from.

I sprayed the back black and painted the front in layers of various colors. I meant to make it look like a wood grain, but that was just not happening. So I mixed various dark shades and got a texture and varied look. Used a little wood glue to stick them down. Pre-drilled and put in the small screw eyes.
