Easy Fabric Letters

Looking for a quick and easy no-sew fabric project? Since I have less and less time to sew these days, I decided to make a fabric-covered letter to hang on the wall in my son’s room. Here’s how to make your own!

Materials:
– Fabric (I used Turkish Delight by Josephine Kimberling for Blend Fabrics)
– Wooden letters from the craft store (I got mine on clearance for $1.49)
– Mod Podge (I used matte finish)
– Paintbrush or foam brush
– Scissors (the sharp kind, for cutting fabric)

Easy Fabric Letters Tutorial

1. First, cut a piece of fabric a bit larger than your letter.

2. Place your letter right side down on the wrong side of the fabric.

3. Cut around the letter, leaving about 1/2” of fabric on each side. You may need to adjust this based on the height of your letter.

4. Snip the fabric in the corners and around the curves.

5. One section at a time, use your paint brush or foam brush to apply Mod Podge just to the edge of the letter, folding the raw edge of your fabric over top. Now paint over the raw edge of the fabric to seal, smoothing the fabric out with your fingers. Repeat this around all of the edges of your letter.

6. Let this dry, then Mod Podge a second layer over the raw edges of the fabric on the letter back.

7. I chose to leave the front of my fabric letter as is, for a natural, fabric look. If you want a more slick texture, you can Mod Podge the entire front of the letter using one or two coats.

Fabric Letters TutorialIt’s that easy! The letter is perfect to add to a keepsake box or pin on the wall with a single nail or straight pins. This idea also works with thicker, boxy letters. You’ll just need to apply fabric to the front of the letter, and then wrap strips of fabric around the 3-D sides of each letter.

Hi, I’m Lindsay Conner, an author, modern quilter, editor, and founder of the Lindsay Sews blog. I’m a Baby Lock ambassador and Stash Books author who loves writing modern sewing and quilt patterns for beginners and weekend sewists! I live in Indianapolis, Indiana with my husband, son, and two loveable cats, Murph and Chloe. I’ve been crafting for as long as I can remember. As a kid, I saved my dollar bills for trips with my mom to Jo-Ann Fabrics, where I’d find new floss for friendship bracelets or mini cross-stitch kits. Because my mom has always shared my love for crafting, she bought me my first sewing machine, a Hello Kitty Janome.
