Pinterest Inspired-Knock off Anthropologie Letters

I'm sure many of you have seen these on Pinterest. Anthropologie letters are all the rage. They're super cute and minimalistic. I first got the idea from this pin:

See the "Bath" on there? Well, I wasn't going to spend an arm and a leg on the zinc letters from Anthropologie. 

So, like many DIYers, I decided to make my own! I also decided against doing "Bath" and decided to do "Eat" instead for my kitchen. 

You can head to any craft store and get cardboard letters. Mine were somewhere between $2-3 a piece. I had some silver spray paint from another project laying around so I used that. You just spray paint the entire letter and make sure to allow for adequate drying time. 
During:

I used those 3m picture hanging adhesives to put them up. They snap to one another so I wouldn't ruin the back of the letters. 

They now hang above my sink. 

Its a nice and easy decoration. Especially because my kitchen has limited space to put anything on the walls.
