Draw out a length of string and, starting at one end of the letter, position on the back and glue into place. <\/li>\r\n<li>Once the glue has fully dried, draw the string around to the front of the letter and secure in place with a dab of glue. Continue working around the entire letter, wrapping the string and securing it with small dabs of glue.  <\/li>\r\n<li>Once the letter is fully covered with string and the glue has fully dried, select your chosen fabric paints and begin adding some colour to the letters.
