What we will be making |
First step you take the backing out of the frame and you'll see this wooden part.
line up the dowels and cut to the right length,
Space the dowels so you can put a letter through the whole. hot glue them down,
Then put dowels in between each dowel spot so there is less space.
Glue black felt to the top and start "stuffing" the felt in between each slot.
make sure its even all the way down.
As you go you can see how the letters fit nicely on the board.
Once the felt is in the slots just re-enforce with hot glue and add the backing and......
YOUR DONE!
I got a container to organize the letters so I can easily change up the sayings.
