Draw the outline of your chosen letter onto the card and cut it out. This works best if the letters have no rounded edges. So, let’s get creative with your letters!

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.

Ensure the wool is neat, together and try not to stretch the wool. You may wish to apply a little glue to the front of the letter to help hold in position, but not too much.
