For those who bought block letters

I remember seeing a few people post that they bought block letters off ebay (aleady painted and all)
I just can't remember who now Chat Icon
If you bought your letters off e-bay, can you share what seller you used?

Re: For those who bought block letters

I have some sites saved on my old computer -- so I don't remember them exactly, however here is a link I found on Ebay:

http://search.ebay.com//search/search.dll?from=R40&satitle=painted+wooden+letters

I made my own letters for my daughter's room and for my sister. These are the ones I made for my daughter and my sister's daughter:

Re: For those who bought block letters

I was actually discussing this with DH -- I would be interested in making them for people for most likely a lot less then the Ebay people sell them for. They sell them for about $7-9/letter for what I've seen and I'd be more like $4-5/letter. Plus since we all live so close we might not have to worry about shipping, and if we did I'd just charge what it costs to mail them, no extra.

I just can't exactly duplicate bedding patterns like some of the women on ebay do, but I can have it go with the color scheme and theme pretty well.

I am actually going to be painting jewlery boxes and butterfly hooks for my daughter/nieces rooms also soon, so I'll post pics when I do that.
