3.Tie a short piece of yarn through the holes to make a hanger. TIP: Use the image as a guide.

4.Tape the starting end of your yarn to the back of your letter. Wrap the letter with yarn until it is completely covered or covered how you like it. TIP: If you want better hold, use craft glue to secure yarn as you wrap.

Trim excess yarn. TIP: Embellish with pom-poms, sequins, pony beads or leave simple with just your name in alphabet letters.
