Materials

  • ½ yard black felt
  • Spray adhesive
  • Frame with backing (any size)
  • Iron on letters: 2 to 3 packets depending on length of message
  • Sharp scissors 

Directions

Place the felt over the back of the frame and cut felt slightly larger than the frame.

Spray a light layer of adhesive on the front of the felt (if the iron on letters have a tacky back, this step may not be necessary).

Place felt sticky side down into the frame and pull felt taut while placing backing of frame into place.

Turn over the frame and place letters to create an inspirational message to share.
