DIY Alphabet Letters Made Using Decorative Picture Frame Molding Scraps

I have a big stash of picture frame molding that I'm always using for different projects.
I've used it on my 4 ft wooden butterfly, my 5ft dragonfly, the kitchen hutch makeover and on my bookshelf makeover...just to name a few!
Check out the "things to make with molding" category to see more ideas.

All of this molding is so detailed and pretty and I decided it would be cool 

to use some of it to make funky letters and words.  

I left the existing gold finishes on these "love" letters, 

I love the mismatched look of all the combined molding.

I cut the angles with my miter saw and attached them together with wood glue.

I also used little pieces of wood to connect the corners (attached on the back).

They are all pretty large, and range from 12" to 18" tall.  More "EAT" letters...

This molding already had the whitewashed distressed look.

And I made a couple for myself, two big initial letters for my last name. This one in golds and ...

.....another one in black.

These aren't molding, I actually cut them out of wood with a jigsaw

 and painted with an olive leaf pattern.

This set of molding letters was a sign I made for a local bakery. 

I spray painted the letters in glossy black and attached to a striped, painted board.

Thanks for checking out my picture molding letters!
