Your Favorite Color

Since you pick the frames, the letters and the felt – it can be your favorite colors, your home decor colors, or your wedding decor colors! The felt colors I’m using here are Linen, Blush, Grapefruit and Swan by Benzie Design on Etsy!

SUPPLIES:

• Your Favorite Colors Of Felt
• Letter Board Letters
• Pretty Frames
• 3/16″ Wooden Square Dowels
• Glue Gun
• Ruler

Optional Supplies: Cutting Mat and Rotary Cutter. While you don’t need these as you can use scissors, they sure do make the cutting of the felt WAY easier!

Measure Your Frame

Disassemble your frame to measure the inside. You’ll need to know the width and the height of the inset of the frame.

Width: will be how long you cut your wooden dowels.
Height: will be how many wooden dowels you need.

Cut Your Dowels

Multiply the height in inches of your frame opening by 3.25 and round up to find out how many dowels you will need to cut. I used a chop saw to cut mine down, but you could use a hand saw or even strong scissors.

For this frame I needed 26 dowels.

Cut Your Felt

Each dowel will need a piece of felt cut to its length x 1″ wide. This is where the rotary cutter, mat, and ruler come in really handy as it’s super easy to cut precise measurements this way.

Glue The Felt To The Dowel…

Add a line of hot glue along one side of the dowel and press it onto the middle of a felt strip. Hold for a few seconds until dry. A firm pressure and crisp edges on these steps will make your board look it’s best!

Then do the same thing by adding strips of glue down each side, rolling the dowel over onto the felt and pressing down firmly until the glue is dry. Do all dowels the same way…

This isn’t hard, it just takes time. It took me about 40 minutes to do all 26 of these dowels.

Glue To The Frame

Now, using a fair amount of pressure, add hot glue to the frame sides and adhere each dowel into the back of the frame. Keep adding and pressing each dowel firmly against the next, no gaps! Keep adding, but make sure to flip the frame over every now and then to make sure you’re happy with the placement.

Any sayings you’d like, create them for your wedding decor but then easily change them and use them in your home afterwards!

Organize Your Letters

If you keep these letters in a plastic bag, it can be a real pain to sift through them all when you want to change the phrase. So organize them in a clear organizing box like this!
