Alphabet Nursery Art

I made this for my niece. I used a large cut of felt, a dowel rod, and scraps of lace and vintage trim. I made a layout before I started, which I think was the hardest part! To make sure I could make all the letters fit and look appealing. Then I shaped each row at a time, adjusting according to the thickness of the trim. It takes more visual guessing and less measuring when doing each row. Then I finished the edges with bias tape, lace casing on top for the dowel rod, and wrapped (and glued) lace at the ends to hang it with.
(this is the first one I made for my daughter)
