I’ve decided I want some of the ‘Mr & Mrs’ letters for the table at the reception, but as our wedding is nautical themed I’d love them to be blue and white striped! I’ve looked online but can only find plain ones, does anyone know of anywhere that sells coloured/patterned ones or anywhere that paints them for you? (I’ve thought about getting plain ones and painting them myself but I don’t know if they’d look rubbish – how would I get the lines straight? Hope that’s not a really daft question!). Any help much appreciated, thanks :-)
my hubby used spray paint on ours to make them sparkle

I would paint them yourself. Get some decorators tape, this won't peel the paint off then when you take it off.

Thank you, I think I'll try it myself then! Ooh excited! Any ideas on the best type of paint to use? x

Gloss paint is probably the best to use on wood xxx

OK so best place to look is probably B&Q or somewhere like that? (I could see if they have any sample pots...?)
CommentAuthorMrsH-2B
I think they do sell sample pots... Get a gloss roller too, then you wont get brush streaks :-) Cover it in white all over with the roller, and then when you come to do the blue totally cover where the white stripes will be and roll over it all again, then taking the tape off will be perfect stripes :-) xxx

Should be easy enough to do as long as its straight. I have a sign that has turquoise but not stripes x
