The Path to an Organized Tomorrow: Polk-A-Dot Letters

My sister-in-law snatched up these letters when she found them at the dollar store! I still can't believe these letters were only a dollar a piece!! Then it was very lucky that I hadn't gotten around to painting them to match the nursery, because we decided to move the girls in together and I avoided needing to repaint them. See, procrastination pays!! :P

I decided I wanted to do something fun with the paint for this project and decided to try some polk-a-dots. First, I painted the letters the polk-a-dot color: pink for the Z and E and yellow for the O.

After that paint dried, I used pennies from our coin jar to make the polk-a-dots. I set them out on the letters in a random pattern and painted all 3 letters with green (all the paint was spray paint).

After about 20 minutes, I very carefully used my Cricut pick tool (looks like a dentist's pick) to pick up all the pennies and then let then let them set so the paint dried completely. Then I added a little something extra by hot-gluing some fabric flowers and rhinestones onto each letter (which also allowed me to bring in the other colors from the room).
