    Carefully cut out your letter. Ensure your letter will fit into your photo frame. You can up-cycle an old frame by painting it to match if you like.

    Choose 3 shades of wool that work well together to make your monogrammed letter.

    On the back of your letter apply the PVA glue. Using a paint brush glue one third of your cardboard letter to start with. Wrapping the wool gently around the cardboard.
