I do, but for fun. No money in it really if you're hoping to start a buisness.

I do canvas' and also buy big wooden letters and paint them, but not just 'stripey/spotty' I did space ones for my sisters son with rockets on, cowboy theme for my son, and 'by the beach' for my cousin.

They are really hard to make money on though as you have to pay for the wooden letter which are expensive then the postage to you and to the customer and they can be heavy.

I do them as gifts when babies are born now.

Me. Sort of. Would like to set up more as a business selling via internet though.

Thats sound lovely Dis, i understand buyng ready made wooden letters must be hard to make money on. I dont mind small profit, its more for fun and hobby, but i dont mind pound on two as profit from what i make, iyswim.
Boco, have you started doing it? Do you have experience on webshop etc...

No mine have all been private commissions so not done it via a website. I do have website but more as a portfolio than a way of selling iyswim.
