Materials:

-glue gun

-cardboard (from toy boxes, pizza, anything Trader Joe's related, trash...)

Step 1--

What's that you say?  Your daughter turned 4 and you have about 100 Polly Pocket boxes?  Well, pick one and trace your letter and begin to cut!

Step 2--

Grab your glue gun and get ready!

Step 3--

Cut a scrap of fabric about the size of your letter and glue letter to it, right side down.

Step 4--

After gluing right side down, begin to shape fabric around letter, leaving 1/2" space to fold over edges.

Step 5--

Fold extra fabric over edges and glue to letter.

Step 6--

Admire your lovely, super cheap, upcycled legit letter and place it proudly in your home!
