- wood letters (or numbers)

- paint brush
- command strips (or picture hanging kit)
Distress the Wood Letters
Choose your accent colors for distressing.
Once the letters are dry, take a dry paintbrush and place only a small amount of accent color paint on the brush.
Lightly stroke the dry brush across the letters until each letter has the desired amount of distressing.
Be sure to distress the sides of each letter where needed!
Hang the Painted Wood Letters
After all of the paint is dry, hang your letters with command strips. You could choose to hang with a picture hanging kit as well.
Simply press and hold a command strip to the backside of each letter. Then press and hold the letter against the wall.
