How to make a giant yarn-wrapped letter
Level of difficulty:Â Quick and easy
Age range:Â 4+ (this is also a fun adult craft)
Younger crafters can use stickers or paint to decorate if the wrapping is too cumbersome.
Safety first: If your cardboard is extra thick, an adult may need to cut it with a utility knife. Kids can use safety scissors for the wrapping materials.
The takeaway: This craft makes you think about letter shapes and geometry. Kids can get a brain workout by practicing their ruler skills and figuring out the proportions of the letter form. We also love this  boho craft for grown-ups. Wouldn’t it look perfect in a nursery"
You’ll need:
stuff to wrap: washi tape, yarn, plastic lace, twine, embroidery floss
a ruler
a pencil
scissors or a utility knife (safety scissors for kids)
a hole punch
a large piece of cardboard, bristol board or foam core
Step 1
Using a large piece of cardboard (or whatever sturdy material you’ve chosen), draw out a letter form. Use your ruler to get straight lines and measure the proportions (see, your teacher was right, you do still need math). Think of your letter as a series of shapes. For curvy letters like ‘O’ or ‘P,’ you can square the rounded bits so your letter looks more blocky, think varsity-style.
Step 2
Now for the fun part! Start wrapping your letter with different materials. We started with washi tape, it goes on quickly and makes it easy to block off sections.
