Are you looking for a fun and easy DIY project to spruce up your child’s bedroom or playroom? Look no further than yarn wrapped letters! This simple craft project involves wrapping colorful yarn around cardboard cutouts of letters to create a fun and tactile decoration that your child will love.

Materials needed:

Cardboard Letters

Yarn

Scissors

White Glue

Instructions:

1. Start by selecting the letters you want to decorate. You can choose your child’s initials, spell out their name, or create any other message you like.
2. Cut a length of yarn and tie a knot around the bottom of the letter. Make sure the knot is tight and secure.
3. Begin wrapping the yarn around the letter, making sure to cover the cardboard completely. You can wrap the yarn tightly or loosely, depending on the look you’re going for.
4. When you come to the end of a length of yarn, tie it off tightly and start a new length of yarn by tying a knot around the bottom of the letter.
5. Continue wrapping the yarn around the letter until it is completely covered. You can use one color of yarn or mix and match colors for a more colorful and interesting effect.
6. Once the letter is completely wrapped, tie off the yarn and cut any excess.
7. If desired, you can add a small amount of glue to the back of the letter to secure any loose ends or keep the yarn from unraveling.

Tips for success:

• Use yarn in colors that complement your child’s room decor.
• Experiment with different wrapping techniques, such as wrapping the yarn diagonally or creating a striped effect.
• You can also wrap the yarn around other shapes, such as hearts or stars, to create a more varied and interesting decoration.
