I’m excited to welcome one of my favorite bloggers, Kristyn of Lil’ Luna, to my blog today! You might remember her from my 12 Days of Christmas event, she showed us how to make a super cute naughty and nice list. She has so many unique and creative ideas, I just adore her blog! If you are looking for a fun Easter project, check out her glow in the dark Easter eggs tutorial. I’ll turn it over to Kristyn now, she has a fun project in store for us.
Hi there! My name is Kristyn and I blog over at Lil’ Luna. You’ll find all sorts of crafts, recipes, tutorials and more over there, so come on over and say hi! 🙂
Materials
MDF/Hardboard Piece ($3)
Spray Paint or craft paint ($5)
Vinyl ($1)
Total Project Cost: $8-$9 (or FREE if you have these supplies handy!)
Directions
Step 1: Begin by finding the piece you are going to want to display. I had this piece laying around the house that I purchased for a few bucks a few months ago. You could also use a cabinet door front or any piece of wood. Spray paint this the color you want the letters to be. Let dry.
Step 2: Design vinyl.
Here are the fonts I used. Most are available to download on DaFont.com or at KevinandAmanda.com.
Evie Iris – Honey Bunches
1 – Masquerade
year old – inkling
loves to smile – teen
teeth = 4 – American Typewriter Bold
Fav Words: SNF Goody
Mama – Dada – Uh-Oh – Pupcat
Step 3: Add your vinyl on top and peel away add adhesive. Spray paint it the color you want it to be on top. I did pink. Let dry. I like to use Rustoleum Spray Paint Enamel just because I feel like it works so well and never leaks through.
Step 5: Display and enjoy.
Thanks for having me, Vanessa. Be sure to come on over and say hi and see the rest of the Birthday Party Ideas & Decor in the next few weeks. 🙂

I’ve been seeing a lot of projects using sticky vinyl, especially for making letters and words. Which product is it exactly and can you run it through a printer? Thanks…
My grandson turns 1 in a few weeks and this would be perfect!!
My question is about the vinyl, too. I’ve never used vinyl before. What kind did you use? How did you get the letters cut out, and how did you line them up so evenly on the board? It’s *adorable*. I want to make one for my son’s first birthday!!
