sethsgran

Please can you help?? I am making bunting for my grandaughters 1st birthday similar idea to this...

However I want to put her name on it using chipboard letters. I am trying to find some blank chipboard letters that I can decorate/glitter but not having much luck. I need them to be uppercase no more than 3" high. My daughter has the cricut expression and was going to cut some for me however the chipboard she ordered hasn't arrived and she lives in Texas so I can't leave it any longer. Is there anywhere that will cut to order or do I have to but a full set, just can't find a font I like on the pre-made ones. The party is on 21st March, not long I know any suggestions of where to source them would be fantastic.

Hi Seths gran
not quite chipboard they are wooden but are about the size you require i think, are easy to decorate and lightweight. I have used them for many crafts at my youth centre.
hope it helps a little.

Hi Sethsgran, you could try calico crafts, they have birch ply and paper alphabets (and lots of other stuff, allow plenty of time!)

Well I contacted a shop about 20 miles from me to ask if they sold the wooden letters, Yes they do. When I asked for opening times she explained that they were going through lots of work so she offered to send a sample to me then I could order. When I explained that I needed them ASAP she asked what letters I wanted, 7 in total, she is putting the letters I want in the post and if I like them then to send her the money!! £1.75 She was a lovely sweet lady who was so keen to help me out. She had the letters in stock but weren't what she wanted so had put them away just in case there was a need for them. She explained that they couldn't be posted until Monday but that is fine. ofcourse I will send her the money with a thank you note.
