I <3... pretty letters on string

... so much so that I made some myself last night :)

 

I spelt out "Lets do things!" because I saw it on the cover of a cute vintage make+do book once upon a time and thought it was fun and inspiring :)

 

 

I'll eventually hang it at the top of the stairs leading up to the kids' rooms and my studio (once I've painted and stuff) to get us in the mood to play and create! 

They were fun and easy to make, you just gather pretty paper or card and some string, cut out your letters and string them together like this:

 

 

(Use a needle to carefully make holes and then "sew" the string through!)

Here are some more pretties for inspiration:

If you were to make one, what would you spell out and where would you hang it?  

(Even better: make one and link me up!)

I like the "it's a beautiful day." I might change it to "it's a beautiful morning" and hang it in my bedroom, where I can see it when I wake up!
