Playroom project-ABC wall

The teacher in me wanted to do an ABC wall in the playroom of our new house.  I googled ABC walls to get some ideas, pinned them, and decided that I wanted to do a little something more than just letters.  I decided to create letters using objects that begin with that letter (B is for buttons, P is for puzzles, etc)

So here's how I made the letters.  Pictures to follow.   (I am not a person that usually goes around showing off their work, but I am really proud of this, and I thought that some others may like the idea and want to know how it's done).

I painted an 8 x 10 canvas, printed and cut out full page letters from http://printerprojects.com/alphabet/ (I recommend doing this unless you are excellent at free handing letters-I ruined 2 canvas's before coming up with this idea), then traced the letter using a pencil onto the canvas, and used glue or hot glue to glue on the objects.  So, after hot gluing some of the objects, they fell off.  My friend told me to use E-6000 (sold at craft stores) instead, and all have stayed on!  My son helped me with a few of the buttons, but lost interest after that.  :)

That is all that I have done so far.  I will post/pin pics of the finished product when we move and get it on the wall in our new house!

I have finished!!  This project took a while and bit of trial and error, but I am proud of the way it turned out!  Here is the finished project!
