$27.50
A new way to use the Sign Language Collection letters! I've taken the letters and put them in photos of frames--so that the letter and frame are printed on one piece of paper. Then I mount them on foamcore.

The product can then be used in a variety of ways! They are so light, you can set them on top of a doorway (as shown) or lean them against the back of a bookshelf! Attach them to a wall or even set them in a stand. I will have more of these options in the future.

This listing shows the 5 x 7 frames attached to the wall above a doorway. You can buy this GRACE grouping or you can special order a name for $5 per letter. This purchase will include 5 sets of 3M command picture hanging strips to attach your grouping to the wall. The strips are 50 cents each.

Convo me for a special order!
