For the present, however, we'll stick with some of the modern-day craft supplies that make illuminated letters so very easy to imitate. This time, instead of copying small letters in a book, we're producing large letters on a book.
Letters can be hand-drawn or copied from any number of clip art books.
If you have a computer, you can easily find art and letters in clip art, font, or other software packages. Even better, anyone with online access will find a wealth of alphabetic characters to copy or download. It's not as dramatic, but the effects are still very lovely. Trace or draw a letter onto the wood piece. Paint in the border.
