Wood and Copper Blocked Letters

January 29, 2015 ·

I really like decorating with short sayings and phrases so for this month’s DIY build I really wanted to make some letters. I started experimenting with a few options and ended up really liking this combination of wood and copper. I am, just like almost all bloggers, still on a copper kick! And because I don’t have a miter saw or really any good place to do real carpentry I used balsa wood. It requires no saw or special supplies so anyone can quickly whip up these letters.

    Materials

  • Balsa Wood (I used 1/16” balsa wood I found on Amazon) //
  • Copper contact paper //
  • x-acto knife //
  • Scissors //
  • Ruler //
  • Pen/pencil //

1. Trace your letters on the balsa wood. I used a ruler on this step just to ensure that each letter was the same size (I made them 5” in height).
2. Cut each letter out using an x-acto knife.
3. Place some of the contact paper on each letter. I picked random placed to place the paper so I would have a good assortment of copper placement on the final saying.
4. Hang up the letters!woodandcopper_steps-600x1352
The letters are super light so you can hang then up with double-sided tape or command strips. No need to use a hammer or anything. copperwoodletters_10 copy
