While exploring Pinterest, I came across a lot of different ideas for making decorative letters . Michael’s Crafts has wooden finished and unfinished versions for a few dollars, so I picked up some letters to try my hand at making my own. I decided to wrap them in variegated yarn and decorate with felt and buttons.

Letter prep with materials
First, I covered the exposed ends of the letter “C” and then began the wrap. With “O”, wrapping presented its own challenges- pushing the yarn length through the tiny center opening

Nice! So who is C O ?
They could perhaps be two separate Christmas gifts for two little girls I know. 🙂
those turned out better than the pinterest example!
thanks! For me, it’s all in the color!
Did you cut strips of yarn for the exposed ends on the C and glue before wrapping the rest?
Yes. I cut them long enough to cover the ends plus a little extra to secure under the “wrapping” area. The start of the wrapping is a little tricky but once you get it secured the rest goes smoothly. When in doubt, use a little more glue on the backside of the letter. Good luck and enjoy!
