You could stop right here if you’d like! The letter looks cute on it’s own. It’s nice to be able to skip the priming step! Step 5: Attach D-rings to back. I used Valspar 12-oz Thistle Field Satin Spray Paint which is a primer and paint in one. Put on your respirator (ALWAYS!) and spray your letter with light coats. You could use whatever pieces of wood, tin cans, etc. I used painter’s pyramids underneath my letter to keep it off of the ground while painting. I did not have corner clamps to hold the wood together so used a bit of hot glue to ensure that my wood stayed together while it dried. Glue the sheets in place using wood glue and hot glue. Take your sheets of balsa (found at a craft store) and cut to size. Step 3: Cut balsa wood and glue into place. Once your letter is cut out, sand any imperfect edges. This worked as a perfect guide for the wood. In order to ensure that I ran my wood in a straight line, I measured and clamped a piece of wood to my table. I used my table saw and a mini-circular saw to cut out the “H”. Step 2: Cut your wood using your choice of saw. Just use a T-square or ruler to draw your letter onto the wood.
