Alaska DIY Decorative Letters- Cheap!

These beautiful letters that spell the word 'Dream' cost me about $6 bucks to make!  I am super excited and can not wait to do some more of them.   

Here is what I did:

I found these foam letters at  Hobby Lobby just the other day...  I had no idea they even existed-they are perfect!  

red and yellow 4 in foam letters

 Second, I primed the letters with plain white acrylic paint.. the colors they came in were way to bright for me. 

Then I painted them with a couple coats of flat black acrylic paint..then sanded and then added one more coat of black paint and VIOLA!! 

Gorgeous decorative letters for your walls, shelves or mantel!
