Yarn covered letters - not a new idea, huh? Before someone asks and comments - the picture above is my inspiration - I did not make them, but I do love them. I love the colors they used and the type of yarn they used. I know they have been around forever. I bought a cardboard M months ago thinking I would cover it with moss (remember that trend). That never happened and finally I just decided I had to do something with it. The yarn covered route seemed the way to go.
I totally underestimated this project. It was a little more complicated than I thought. It included trying to figure out angles and busting out the glue gun. I used yarn left over from the Rapunzel hair I made for Halloween.
I love the texture it gives - it seems cozy and perfect for fall and winter, well, and spring if you live in Colorado.
Caption for the freako in the mirror? Anyone?
I stuck it in the back of my niche, AKA my nemesis. I really don't like these and they seem very popular around here.
After living with it for a couple of days, the M has become my favorite thing back there. It was inexpensive, cozy, only took a couple of hours and looks like it was made for there. I think next I'll tackle a wreath - no angles on that one!

I love this idea. Thanks for sharing.
Very cute idea! I actually have something similar up my sleeve for the first Dare to DIY. Thanks for the heads-up that it's time consuming. Something to look forward to. ;)
PS - Your cute little smiling face in the mirror is too funny. No caption necessary.
I started working on one myself, but was having trouble with all the corners! Great job!!
I love this! Almost everyone has an old letter or two around. What a pretty and cheap way to make it cool.

Can't wait to copy! I just found some extra B's I had out in the garage!
So cozy! I made a yarn wreath last year and loved it for winter, so warm (even though I used white). I did the moss covered too but it shed bad! And I basically need to redo it, even though it only hung for a few weeks.
it looks great!
