Wooden Letters

Where do you get large wooden letters made, or how do you make them?



(Like these ADPi letters, only a little bigger)

You might find some strapping young fraternity men to make them for you. Then you ladies can have the fun of decorating them!

I was going say basically the same thing. Just find a fraternity guy to agree to cut them out ofr you and you can take care of the rest. I know one of my brother always ends up cutting out paddles for a sorority we are close with.

Oh, sorry, the way I read your OP, I thought you were looking for a place to make them for you.

I second the drafting the big burly guys to do it for you motion, then.

I want them to look like the Phi Mu letters in the Bid Day thread, but with these colored stripes:


And I want them to be in a fun font, but not bubble letters like this: Since I want to paint stripes, and I don't think that would look right.


Can y'all post pics of wooden letters you've seen?

I don't know, I want them to be easy to carry around, but still sturdy enough to last
