Fabric covered letters at no cost!
by Jacqui Ventham
Materials: 8/ Take a thick needle and thread with ribbon or thread of your choice, and pierce through the top of the letter about 1cm from the top edge to create a hanging loop. (You might want to hang the letter between your thumb and index finger to find the centre of gravity so it doesnt hang lop sided) Tips: Cotton shirts in plain colours work well if you include part of the seam, buttons, or top of the pocket for example. Mix and match your materials, putting a silk patterned letter (from an old neck tie for example) next to a plain velvet letter (from an old cushion cover or curtain) of a different colour is really effective. If you dont think you have any materials you could use, try going through your wardrobe and drawers and you will be surprised what you find, aswell as your airing cupboard for old tea towels, pillow cases etc etc...the more interesting and varied the textures, patterns and colours in one set the better! I used toy stuffing left over from a previous craft project, but you can also use the stuffing from any old cushions or toys, or scrap material cut into strips, or even torn up tissue paper/kitchen towels!
