Decorating advice please

I have bought wooden letters for the baby's wall... I painted them and have ribbon to hang them. My question is what do I use to attach them to the wall? Nails? Picture hooks? Decorative hooks? Have any of you done this in the baby's room? How did you do it? Thanks in advance.

Hi Tuckins, I have letters on my sons wall and they don't have ribbons to hang them. They hang on a predrilled picture hanger hook. These are the ones I have. Do you want to use the ribbon or could you attach a hangar in the back? Depends on the look you want to achieve I guess. Good Luck!

Will the letters spell out something, or are they more of the alphabet nature? For me that would change how relevant the apparatus for hanging is. If the word is the focus point-maybe just small finishing nails, painted the same color as the wall would be least obtrusive. There are also tons and tons of child style wall hooks that could be adorable, looking like they are holding up the letters, and go with other themes such as bears, birds, flowers, boats etc...

Thanks for the replies. The letters spell his name, and I do like how it looks when they hang from ribbon, as opposed to being fixed directly to the wall. Keep the suggestions coming! Also, if anyone has pictures of how this looks in their room, please feel free to share!

JD used velcro to attach London's to her wall.

Here's a quick pic... Looks uneven, but it's just the way the ribbon was laying on the nail....
