Craft Of The Day: Yarn Letters

A Deceptively Easy Way To Make Anyone Smile

Make a statement with this Craft Of The Day. These yarn-wrapped letters take about 5 minutes to make, but look like something you could find at Anthropologie for a triple-digit price tag. The colorful result would make a great gift, though we'd be happy to display them on our bookshelves or desks. Keep reading for the full how-to.

How To Make It
1. (Optional) Paint the cardboard.
