Fabric Covered Monogram Letters {Photo Tutorial}

 
Here is a quick and easy project you can complete in less than 30 minutes and use up some fabric scraps at the same time! Most of the supplies you probably already have at home and you can find the wooden letters at the craft store for cheap! These are actually going to be my kid's Teacher Valentine's Gifts.
 
Supplies:
2 inch strips of fabric
hot glue
wooden letters
6-9" strip of rafia or ribbon
flowers, bows or other embellishments (optional)
 
Instructions:
 
Start by cutting 2 inch strips of fabric. I used pinking sheers to give a decorative edge and help prevent fraying.
 
Starting on the back side of one end of the letter, adhere a strip of fabric with hot glue. Wrap snuggly  around the letter overlapping the fabric by 1/2" and gluing on the edges and corners when you can. Tuck and fold edges onto the back side securing with hot glue to create a smooth surface on the front.
 
Embellish your wrapped letter with flowers or a bow, again adhering with hot glue.
 
On the back side, glue the ends of a piece of rafia or ribbon to hang your letter with hot glue. Wait until completely dry before hanging!
 
You are finished!! Enjoy!!!
