- Stitch letters using picture as a guide. For best results, use double thickness of thread for bold lines. Knot thread starts and finishes on the back side of the sign.
- Wrap yarn around a 7” piece of cardboard 40 times. Use a 12” piece of yarn to tie securely at one end, do not trim. Cut across other end. Wrap a second 12” piece of yarn 3 times around tassel 1.5" from tied end, fasten securely and trim ends to match the length of the tassel. Use top yarn ends used to knot top to fasten tassel to the bottom of the sign. Once secure, use tapestry needle to thread ends through the middle of tassel to hide.
- Cut a 16” piece of grosgrain ribbon. Thread through slits at the top of the sign and knot on the back side to form a hanger.
