One affair y'all cannot ignore when entering this room is the BIG missive of the alphabet M.
That large chunk of wall was calling for something big. At first, I wanted to hang or pigment a chalkboard, but then, the thought of getting lots of dust on the nighttime floors kept me away from it.
So, the missive of the alphabet M won this battle. I'm glad my son's refer begins amongst such an tardily letter. :)
Yeah, it was easy, but since I wasn't next a tutorial, around case as well as mistake was necessary, equally y'all tin come across inwards the motion-picture exhibit below.
The practiced affair is, y'all don't accept to larn through that trouble.

Follow the invention to describe the missive of the alphabet onto the forest as well as cutting the shape out using the jig saw.
I was working on this projection during the large snowfall tempest a dyad of weeks ago, the garage was real cold. I rapidly made the cuts without whatever guides as well as darted within the domicile to complete the rest.
Note: when cutting amongst a jig saw, the bottom side of the wooden slice gets a cleaner face, splintering occurs along the seat surface.
In guild to give the missive of the alphabet around depth, parting bead was added. You tin purchase it at whatever domicile centre or y'all tin brand your own, fifty-fifty a flake deeper.
I didn't pay much attending to the joints, afterward all, they were non going to show.
Once dry out as well as educate to motion on, the fossil oil plywood border was only also much. But, I didn't desire to larn as well as sand it. :/
The solution for shine edges: Duck Tape. I flora this weird pattern inwards my stash.

At this call for y'all tin complete it whatever means y'all want. I was going for an industrial look, my thought was to brand it await similar metal.
By accident - My immature lady was working on a arts and crafts projection - as well as out of all her supplies i googly oculus barbarous to the floor, equally I picked it up, the thought of using it equally rivets appeared. They were hot glued along the centre line.
Then, ii coats of dark acrylic pigment were applied.
The terminal pace was to spray pigment it amongst metallic element paint.
I'm non also happy at how this pace went. It looks patchy. :(
I accept a practiced excuse, though. I spray painted it within the solid as well as the fearfulness of making the entire solid minor similar pigment terrified me. I did picayune sprays as well as it shows!
Once warmer temperatures larn inwards I'll do it again. ;)
