I wanted to make something crafty for a friend who recently had a baby. When I saw all the cute yarn-covered monograms over at Pinterest, I knew that was my next project.
Along with tacky glue and scissors, here is what I used for the project. I ended up having enough yarn leftover for a second monogram.
I thought about painting the wood letter first, in case there wasn't enough coverage, but I opted to wrap it all 2-3 times, so it looked more padded. In the final version, you can't see any of the wood underneath.
I did, however, decided to cover the ends like this, using tacky glue. I didn't want it to look messy, so I took extra care here.
When that was all dry, I started wrapping. I wrapped and wrapped, and kept the yard taught so it didn't relax. I tried to work as neatly as possible, and it ended up being such a FUN project! It is totally doable for a pre-teen to do, too. (Our daughter made one for a friend the day after I finished this one up, and she needed little help from me with it!)
When it was said and done, I raided my stash and added a few doilies and crocheted flowers. Fingers crossed that she likes it!
I hope you give this one a try!
Enjoy your day!
