Supplies:
Embroidery hoops- one for each letter in name
Fabric
Wooden Letters for name
Glue Gun
Scissors
Ribbon/string to hang it with (got mine from $ bins at Target)
Did you know fabric stores sell fabric quarters? I did not as I am not a quilter-but these were perfect for the project as then I could get four different colors without having to pay for a lot of fabric. (if you have scraps you like, use those!)
First place your fabric in the hoop, making sure it is in tightly and smoothly; secure the hoop closed.Roughly (and I really did roughly) cut the fabric closer to circle of the hoop- but leave some extra to glue down to help secure (as you don't want to cut it exact to only have the fabric slip out)On the wrong (or back side) hot glue around on the hoop and push the extra fabric down gluing into place (this is the side that will be against the wall so doesn't have to be pretty)When dry, flip over and hot glue each letter onto each fabric- make sure the hook is at the top center. I found it easiest after I glued the letter in place, I carefully flipped the entire thing upside down, so the letter was on the counter and then pushed and held the fabric onto the letter while it dried (though careful it is hot!)
Tie the ribbon into a bow and wrap and tie around the embroidery hook and then hot glue onto the hook for extra security. Hot glue the ends of the ribbon to create a closed loop.
Then hang and enjoy! (I just used push pins to hang them from)
