Since my fiancé and I will be moving this weekend I have decided to embark on a craft. I went to an engagement party last weekend and my friend had bought the letter of her future last name and wrapped it in yarn. Naturally, I fell in LOVE. So I went out and bought the letter of my future last name and began wrapping it in black yarn. It took me a while to get a system for how to wrap but I figured it out. Here is the letter so far. Keep posted for the finished product! (It will be embellished with a bow)
Here is what you will need:
· *A letter big, med, or small from any craft store
· *A pound of yarn (or several different colors)
· *Some embellishment if you wish
· *Tap
· *Scissors
How to:
· *Cut a long piece of yarn
· *Tap one end of yarn to the bottom or back of the letter
· *Begin to wrap the yarn around the letter (decide if you want to wrap vertically or horizontally)
· *Wrap the entire letter once
· *For your second round of wrapping use a hot glue gun to glue the yarn to the back of the letter
Here are a few tips:
· *Don’t worry so much about the first round of wrapping- it can be messy because you will wrap it again
· *Cut a long piece of string and fold it in half- that way when you wrap around the letter you are getting double the string
