I was REALLY bored the other day (you can only workout so much!) so I came up with this quick and cheap little project to hang on my wall. I really like the rustic feel it has and it goes great with the "farmhouse" autumn feel.
First thing I did was find an old cardboard box and draw out my letter. I then used my amazing McGyver skills to cut it out with a pocket knife.
Once you have your shape you can proceed on to covering your cardboard with jute. You could also use yarn or strips of fabircto give it a taste of your personality. I personally just attache one end of the jute to the back of the cardboard and wrapped the jute around the letter form. Occasionally, I used a dab of hot glue to secure peices down or cut little peices to fill in empty space.
After my form was done I grabbed a frame I wasn't using and went looking for fabric. Wallah!! An old shirt the hibs doesn't use any more.
I cut out a piece from the breast of the shirt and taped it over the glass in my frame. Glued my monogram to the fabric and then added some pretty coffee filter flowers to the top.
Voila!! Easy, fun and beautiful!
