How to!

Ok girls this is how I did the family thing I hope this answers some of your questions. My husband made my shelf its around 56inches which is close to almost 5ft. The reason we made this is that to buy a shelf that big was just about 100.00 bucks we made ours for dirt cheap! The frames I bought cheap ones at walmart took the backs of them hot glued the glass onto the frame and then put the vinyl letter onto them. I had to have someone make the letters. I just measured an inch down from the frame and from the bottom gave her that measurement at least that what I remember. NOW remember I just copied this from a picture and really had to come up with it all on my own on how to do it. I have seen this done with smaller frames. Like the F being an 8x10 mine is an 11x14 the A is a 5x7, M 8x10, I 5x7 , L long frame, and Y 11x14. My pictures under are 8x10. Iam sure if you made your frames on top not as big then you could use 5x7 for the under ones. Hope this helps some of you. Just be creative and have fun. I am sure if you don't have someone to make your letters for way cheap like I did you could maybe make your own out of paper or something just an idea! Best of luck.
