Wooden letters - how to decorate?

Spray paint. In my case, gold. Piece of cake. Plus, wrapping an "E" isn't easy.*

*Lurking police, this is not a drugs reference.

As they are MDF, spray with primer ( a couple of coats) and then I'm topping it off with purple glitter spray paint, may sound hideous but hopefully it will look good heehee..

If you're keen on 'wrapping' them then what you can do is get your paper (there are tonnes of lovely ones to choose from) lay your letter out on it, cut around with a craft knife and then glue it onto just the front. As the letters will be on a mantelpiece it should look fine.

I am painting mine, made a start today actually!! x

The great Bay of E, for me....

I got mine from eBay. They spell out Mr & Mrs followed by our married name. Am also going to spray with primer and then probably silver spray

Are these suitable? Not sure how deep they are, or whether they stand up by themselves or not. Plain so need decorating. I think i'll be painting them white with tiny little flowers on, or perhaps sticking a silk flower to each one.

I'm getting mine from the local craft shop (but they have loads on ebay too) and then I'm thinking of dabbing some bronze paint on them with a sponge to create a textured look. Looks good in my mind anyway...

I painted mine white, decided I didnt like them and they are now covered in all of the small buttons I wont be using for my bouquet:
