Yarn Letters Gift Idea

1 cardboard letter

1 yarn, color of choice (the thicker the better)

2 0r 3 fat quarters material

2in wide by 36in long piece of felt

1 jumbo rick rack

1 medium rick rack

12×12 inch square of burlap

glue gun and sticks

various buttons

Using the hot glue gun to start and assist through wrapping the cardboard letter… the ‘K’ was semi-tricky as I has to double wrap through the center to get it all covered.  An ‘E’ or ‘L’ would be super easy to wrap

To cover the uneven ends I cut several small pieces of yarn, hot glued the into place and trimmed the ends

 

My friend and neighbor, Debbie, showed me how to make this cute yarn wreath with all the different flowers…

Using the some of the same flower ideas, I made the flowers for the yarn letter, there are a variety of shapes and sizes.  I’ll show you how I made the flowers for my Letter K

The red felt flower- take the piece of felt and fold it in half, make cuts down the folded side about 1/4 inch apart but making sure not to cut completely through the felt

Then starting at one end, glue to secure as you roll it into a flower

The rick rack flowers are very simple just start rolling and securing with hot glue at the base.  When reached desired size fold each bump of the rick rack down for petals…

The 3 circle burlap is just that… cut 3 circles out of burlap making each one a little smaller as you go, hot glue together and finish with a cute button …

The cute twisted flower is simple too… take a 2 inch wide piece off of the long side of your fat quarter, fold it in half, tie a knot in one end then begin twisting, keeping it folded in half and wrapping; securing with hot glue as you work.

Hot glue flowers in groups of three onto the yarn wrapped letter…

AND there you go!!  A fun personalized gift that anyone would enjoy

Yarn Letters Gift Idea is great way to make a special gift with a homemade touch!  I made this one for my daughter’s birthday but this would be a really fun Christmas Gift too.

Happy Tuesday everyone

Love,
