    Letter Board Quotes, Inspiration And Ideas

    Published by Pam Kessler | 883 words. · About 5 minutes to read this article. - 21 Comments

    Jump on the letter board bandwagon and get some letter board inspiration and ideas for this HOT home decor trend. Including where to buy them.

    Do you love the letter board look as much as I do? I think it's the perfect combination of vintage charm and easily obtainable decor.

    Now normally, I go for authentic vintage all the way.

    All. The. Way.

    Jump on the letter board bandwagon and get some letter board inspiration and ideas for this HOT home decor trend. Including where to buy them.

    But you can pick up one of these letter boards at Walmart, JoAnn Fabrics and even Amazon. And they pretty much look like the original ones that you can find at your local flea market.

    Without having to dig around for 14 hours in the hot sun.

    And have your mascara melt all over your face.

    And drink too many lemon shake ups.

    So in the letter board world, I am totally fine with the new-fangled knock offs.

    If you follow me on Instagram , you saw my letter board make its debut (a coming out ball of sorts) on the 4th Of July.

    Patriotic quote for your letter board

    I purchased my black letter board at JoAnn Fabrics on sale with a coupon (does anyone buy anything there without a coupon?).

    It came with the white letters, but you can also buy packs of colored ones and packs of cute sayings (not in the typical letter board font, but sort of cute anyhow).

    And it's been seen at New Year's

    and Valentine's Day also.

    And WalMart has a small white letter board for right around $10. It comes with black letters.

    In my WalMart they were on an endcap by the flower arranging and party supplies.

    I'll be honest (I'm dorky like that), the Walmart board letters are a little flimsy, but if you want to save a few bucks they still spell out words just fine!

    Need some letter board quotes to get you started?

    Here's a few of my favorite letter board quotes:

    1. Live the life you imagined

    3. You'll never know dear, how much I love you
    4. The difference between ordinary and extraordinary is that little extra

    Inspirational Letter Board Quotes

    How to store and organize your letter board letters?

    The easiest way to organize your letters and keep you from having to hunt through 500 letters just in order to find a "J", is to use a simple and inexpensive bead organizing container. I bought this one from Amazon for around $5.00.

    And lest you think letter boards HAVE to be black or white, Jennifer at Smart Fun DIY made a very festive DIY Felt Letter Board.

    Did I say it was VERY festive, or what!

    She even made one for Halloween that is candy corn colored.

    Shonee at Hawthorne And Main (love that blog name) even made a storage box for her letters. Sure beats my zip lock bag.

      Hi there! I’m looking for another set of the mint colored letters that you got at JoAnns Fabrics several years ago. Any chance you still have them and willing to sell them??

      Thank you for mentioning how your letter board does not have to be black. I can understand how taking the time to learn all you can about how letter boards work can help you choose the best one for your needs. We just moved to a new house and my wife wants to use some letter boards to decorate it, so I'm glad I found your post.

      I absolutely love this and I had no idea you could buy them new. Can you tell I don't get out much??? I am going to have to check JoAnn's (I always use a coupon there, too) and WalMart. Thanks so much for the new-vintage inspiration. You always share the coolest ideas.
