Here's my latest accomplishment. These are my niece and nephews names that I'm going to put on a ribbon to hang on their wall or bedroom door.
I usually paint my creations but this time I don't think it would look right.
I thought I would stain the letters but don't have much experience with that.
Here's where the assistance is needed.
I thought for my niece I would stain it a light color as the ribbon is so pretty that I don't want to compete too much with that. The ribbon in case the color doesn't come out very good is a light purple or lilac. I also thought about putting a light whitewash on it but I wasn't sure how that would look. Her bedroom is striped (painted over the paneling) in purple, pink and white. She's 6 and is very girly, girly.
My nephew is only about 6 weeks old and wouldn't even know its there for a while. His ribbon has different shades of blue and green with a white stripe. The wood trim in his room is a dark wood. I thought of staining his name in a dark wood also, not quite as dark as the trim. Think 70s wood stains, everything was that dark wood. That's the color of the trim.
Any suggestions would be most appreciated.
