I made Grahm's name for wall art in his room, and sewed him up a sock monkey for Christmas last year. I thought they turned out pretty darn cute. For the sock monkey, you'll just have to browse the internet for directions. I borrowed my friend's, and it was quite easy and fun!
The letters are pretty self-explanatory, but here's a quick how-to just in case:
Large, pressed cardboard letters from Hobby Lobby
12"x12" scrapbook papers (one per letter)
ModPodge
Acrylic paint
Turn papers right side down, with letters right side down on top of them. Trace around letter with pencil. Cut out on inside of pencil line. It's okay if the edges don't match up exactly when you glue it on, b/c the paint will cover it up. Glue on, and then paint sides of letters and dry brush a little on front and edges for a distressed look. When dry, cover the whole thing in Mod Podge. Great project for a quick punch of color wherever you need it!
