Assembly:
Out of
black felt cut out two small circles for eyes and a slightly bigger oval for a
mouth. Glue on to make the face on the white piece.
Sew the
sides of the letters together, stitch to white piece. Weave in
all ends.
I stiffened each piece before sewing together. To keep the pieces from folding over I used pipe cleaners which I hot glued to the back
