I much prefer to create the decor than purchase it. Don't get me wrong I am a shopping freak, purchasing is great, you can get some amazing items here, here, or here. I just find personal touches can really help to make that event special, and sometimes even make your guests feel more comfortable.
I wasn't sure that I wanted to post about this DIY project today, because literally everyone will be getting one of these for Christmas. Sorry! These yarn covered letters make such great decor items at weddings, parties, or dinners. They even make as great wall decor for any room in the house.
All you need is:
Wooden letters. You can pick these up at the dollar store, or any Michael's Craft Store, sometimes even Winners has them. It doesn't matter what colour they are because you are going to cover it up.
You will obviously need some yarn. You can buy it again at the dollar store, Michael's, Walmart will have some. The best yarn would be from specialty knitting stores.
The obvious next step is to wrap the letters in the yarn of your choice. I would start with a bit of glue, and end with a bit of glue, but its up to you about how you want to finish them ( i.e. knotting)
Finished Products:
If you are feeling extra creative and a little daring, create your letters using a hammer and nails, either on the wall itself or on an awesome 2"4. Looks pretty amazing if your willing to try.
