Make cool giant word wall art for super cheap!
I know for a while vinyl word wall art was all the rage. I still love a cute little vinyl “hello” on the front door or something but now I’m seeing a ton of word wall art made of wood. So it’s 3 dimensional and you can paint it or finish it any way you want. I think that’s super cool. There are some really talented people making them. That being said, what I am not such a fan of, is the price. ( I get it, it’s labor intensive!) So I wanted to make my own but for much much cheaper. And you guys, it turned out SO cute! I originally intended this to go in our bedroom which, in a fashion I’m sure a lot of you can relate to, is the last room to get any decorating attention in the entire house. Partly because we’re being indecisive, and partly because hardly anyone ever sees it so it doesn’t seem so urgent. In fact, we’ve had the same super ugly curtains up for almost two years that came with the house! But then my word wall art was so cute, I decided to put it up in baby V’s room instead. But be assured, this is definitely not a nursery specific project! Want to know the secret? Read on!
DIY Giant Word Wall Art
White foam board (20″ x 30″ size, a good place to get this is the dollar store!)
Gold spray paint or the color of your choice.
1. First download and print each of the three pages of the Sweet Dreams artwork below (it’s prints on 8 1/2″ x 11″ paper:
sweet_dreams_littleredwindow-01
sweet_dreams_littleredwindow-02
sweet_dreams_littleredwindow-03
2. Tape the pages together
7. When you’re done cutting, clean up any rough edges and then take it outside for several thin and even coats of spray paint. Make sure to get it from all angles to get all of the edges.

Loce this idea! I too dont want to spend so much on all the wood cutouts that are all the rage right now! Can you tell me how you got your text to print on 3 papers? I would love to design my own wording but have no idea how to print a large word as a continuous word on multiple sheets of paper like you did. Thanks so much!!

I used photoshop to split it up. You could try one of the free photo editing programs online!

How did you get the lettering please? What font have you used as I would like to do this with other wording as well. I love what you create, you are so clever.

Hi!
In step 1 of the instructions are 3 files to download and print and when you tape the pages together it is the template for the lettering! Super easy! I will have to look up what font it is tomorrow if you want to do other words. I can’t find that on my phone. Thanks so much for your kind words!
