I decided to go with a brightly colored summer theme.
I used some yarn and buttons I already had in stock. Picked up a piece
of foam board at the $1 store, and 3 pieces of felt for less than 50
cents each at Michael's. I also had the ribbon and glue sticks already
in my stash. Which makes my grand total to create this little cutie -
less than $3! If you were purchasing the yarn, ribbon, and buttons also -
you're probably still looking at less than $10.
 |
| Draw or trace the shape of the letter you want onto the foam board |
 |
| Use an X-acto knife to cut out letter |
 |
| Wrap letter with yarn (or twine). I used a little craft glue to help hold it in place as I went along. WARNING: This is much more tedious and time consuming than you might thing. | . |

| I made felt flowers using a method I found HERE. But you could use any flower - fabric, ribbon, crocheted, store bought, etc. Be creative! |
|
 |
| Lay out flowers on the letter to decide placement |
 |
| Put a big blop (official crafting term) of hot glue on the back of each flower and press into place on your letter |
 |
| Hold flower firmly until glue dries. |
|
Glue ribbon onto back of letter to make a hanger.
 |
| Ta-DA! I love my brightly colored "P" on the front door! |
