How to decoupage a wooden letter for fall

I love decoupaging these wooden letters because they are so super simple but make a bold statement in your home. You can do so much with them like spell out someone’s name, a saying or quote or be simply used as a monogram. Wooden letters are wildly available in all different sizes at most craft supply stores. All you need to do is choose your sizes, your fun paper (which is also available in a range of colors and patterns) and start creating!

Frequently Asked Questions

What are my favorite mediums I use to decoupage with?
I use Mod Podge, Fusion’s Decoupage & Transfer Gel. If it is a thicker type of paper or fabric project I opt for the Mod Podge. For a basic tissue paper, I use Fusion’s Decoupage and Transfer Gel — it is water based and is quick drying and water resistant and easier to work with than traditional Mod Podge.
