I think we painted the letters too. </p> [attach=2504/14/n9seb9.600x450.mt0mcw.600x450.IMG_1708.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/non-vinyl-nursery-name#post-1796748 Mon, 04 Aug 2014 08:22:04 +0000 twodoghouse 1796748@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@locavore_mama: Their names are each five letters long! It's just big! I'm nursing downstairs now but will take a picture when I get a chance!!</p> <p>ETA: found this one on my Facebook where you can see the signs in the background (and my cute family in the foreground): </p> [attach=141/14/n9samh.338x600.image.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/non-vinyl-nursery-name#post-1796729 Mon, 04 Aug 2014 08:17:16 +0000 littlek 1796729@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@twodoghouse: so cute!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/non-vinyl-nursery-name#post-1796674 Mon, 04 Aug 2014 08:01:27 +0000 sorrycharlie 1796674@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@locavore_mama: if you go wood, depending on how heavy, the 3M photo strips are awesome! We have LO's name above her crib, six wooden letters from Jo-Anns. Each has 1 or 2 photo strips (the kind sorta like Velcro?). They haven't budged in over 2 years! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/non-vinyl-nursery-name#post-1796648 Mon, 04 Aug 2014 07:42:34 +0000 regberadaisy 1796648@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@looch: doh.

They have a nice 3-d effect, were super cheap to make, and I was able to pick the exact color scheme/pattern I wanted! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/non-vinyl-nursery-name#post-1796467 Sun, 03 Aug 2014 22:43:54 +0000 mrskc 1796467@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I ordered custom wood letters for baby girl's nursery from craft cuts.com it came unfinished and I spray painted it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/non-vinyl-nursery-name#post-1796402 Sun, 03 Aug 2014 21:04:43 +0000 regberadaisy 1796402@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@twodoghouse: wow! OK! :) I would love to see it whenever you get a chance. I'm looking at another seller that laser cuts the name but it's unfinished. I have leftover nursery paint so we're fine to finish it ourselves. But it's only 1/4" thick so I wonder if it will look cheesy w/o much of a reveal. And it definitely won't get up to 2' long! Is your LO's name long? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/non-vinyl-nursery-name#post-1796384 Sun, 03 Aug 2014 20:53:11 +0000 twodoghouse 1796384@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mine's big (about 2 ft long) so we used big nails. The seller per drilled hole/slot things on the back that fit over the nail. I don't know the right terms, haha. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/non-vinyl-nursery-name#post-1796370 Sun, 03 Aug 2014 20:46:11 +0000 regberadaisy 1796370@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@twodoghouse: I was just looking at something similar on Etsy! Did you hang it with a photo hook? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/non-vinyl-nursery-name#post-1796344 Sun, 03 Aug 2014 20:29:37 +0000 Mrs. Sketchbook 1796344@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I got cardboard letters from the craft store and wrapped them in fabric scraps left over from other nursery projects. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/non-vinyl-nursery-name#post-1796340 Sun, 03 Aug 2014 20:23:13 +0000 twodoghouse 1796340@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I ordered wooden name signs from ALittleMiscellany on Etsy. Here's a sample from her shop. I can take a pic of our signs tomorrow if you want, but it's dark in the nursery currently. </p> [attach=141/14/n9rd6q.600x382.image.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/non-vinyl-nursery-name#post-1796319 Sun, 03 Aug 2014 20:07:37 +0000 Cole 1796319@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>They have wooden and paper mache letters at the craft stores so those could be a good option for painting them yourself.
