I saw a tutorial on Pinterest here, for DIY Alphabet out of fabric. I have a TON of felt so I decided to adapt this project, to work for me. Which is sorta what I do!
I started out with the font that I wanted (I chose the Hobo font, size 250), and printed all of the letters. Eventually I want to do numbers 1-10 so I printed them as well.
I cut them out, leaving the inside part (on some letters) to guide me when I cut the felt.
Like I said, I have a lot of felt, but mostly I have a TON of pink. So I used pink for the back of every letter. You will need to pieces per letter, totalling 52 pieces.
I used this craft bond spray glue. It's easy, but make sure you are in a well ventilated area. Just spray one piece, and attach the two pieces together.
Voila...
The last step is to take your stencils and cut out your felt pieces. You could pin them if you want, but it was easier for me not to. Here is how they turned out...
I felt inspired to make a bag to put them in. SUPER EASY! I took a 10x20 piece of felt and folded it in half, to make it a 10x10 bag. I folded down the top, about an inch, and hot glued them down, put a ribbon through, and then hot glued the sides. I added little flowers on the front but you could decorate it anyway you want.
TA DA.... DIY Alphabet and draw-string bag.
