“He’s gonna find out who’s naughty or nice…” SO BE NICE! This is what I keep telling my kids, but I figured maybe they needed a visual reminder 🙂 I decided to re-invent one of our most popular projects {LOVE yarn letters} for Christmas…
- Paper mache letters
- chunky yarn {the thicker, the better!}
- Craft fur trim
- Acrylic paint {I used Americana in True Red}
- Finished wooden letters {for the “BE”}
Start by painting the edges of your letters red. {This way, you won’t have to double wrap the edges and you’ll hardly even notice that a few spots don’t have yarn!}
Hot glue is your best friend for this project! But you don’t need a lot, so don’t overglue 🙂 Start by gluing the end of your yarn to the back of the letter and then just wrap each section until it is completely covered in fuzzy goodness. {You can get my full Yarn Letter tutorial here.}
For these letters, I left about 1″ bare at the top of each letter to leave room for the fur trim. Here are two of my letters after they are completely wrapped. {You can see the bottom of each letter is bare of yarn, but the paint does a pretty good job tricking the eye!}
Next, I just cut sections of fur trim to fit the tops of each letter and attached them with hot glue. That’s it! Pretty easy, right?

Heya terrific blog! Does running a blog such as this require a lot of
work? I’ve no knowledge of coding however I was hoping
to start my own blog in the near future. Anyways, should you have any recommendations
or tips for new blog owners please share. I know this is
off topic nevertheless I just wanted to ask.
Cheers!
