i've been crafty lately people. it's been bad, real bad. mainly because i see these amazing ideas on pinterest, and think i can undertake the most amazing of crafts with minimal sewing skills and 70 cents in nickels. once i accepted that i seem to lack the martha stewart gene, i moved on to more realistic undertakings. like yarn.
i got the idea {obviously} from pinterest from this blog. i thought sarah's tutorial was awesome, so i decided to attempt it on my own. let me tell those of you are intrigued and potentially thinking of trying this: choose your word carefully. i had the brilliant {read: dumb} idea to yarn-spin home. whoooo, boy...
the h and the e, no problemo. the o proved more complicated, and i wanted to kill myself trying to wrap the m. seeing as without the m, i'd be left with a harlot or a gardening tool as a result, i trucked on...
i used cardboard letters from hobby lobby {$2.49 a pop} and i went with bright neon colored yarn {$2 a pop} to wrap them with. so all in all, about a $20 project, and i'm pretty pleased with the end result!
i secured the yarn with hot glue, and the back of these letters are kind of a hot mess, buuut... worth it!
what will you wrap today?
Um I am so impressed with you right now. Those look freaking amazing. Like just bought them instead of crafted them amazing!
