How to Make Yarn Wrapped letters

MATERIALS – 

• craft letters, wood or chipboard both work great
• yarn / twine in the color(s) of choice
• scissors
• hot glue + glue gun

DIRECTIONS – 

1. Cut a few yards off a skein of yarn. You want to work with smaller lengths of yarn, so that it is easier to wrap around the letters.
2. Place a small dab of hot glue on the backside of your letter where you want to start wrapping your yarn, then carefully push one end of the yarn into the glue, trying not to burn yourself. 😉
3. Wrap the yarn around your letter to cover as much space as you’d like. I only did an inch and a half on these letters, but I’ve seen people wrap the whole thing, so have fun with this!
   TIP – Don’t wrap the yarn too tight. You want the yarn to be just loose enough that you can slide it back and forth to make sure that all of the wood or cardboard is covered.
4. Continue wrapping until you reach the end of the yarn. Secure the end to the back with another dab of hot glue. If the end of your yarn ends on the front side, trim it so you can secure it to the back. You don’t want messy glue seen on the front. If you need more yarn, cut another string and start over right where you left off!
5. …and that’s it!

Cute, right?
