DIY: Wall Letters

This year I made two wall letters for friends.  They asked others to choose and decorate a letter for their children for Christmas.  How cool is that?  So I worked on an "O" and an "&." I know an ampersand isn't a letter but it does join Y and Z right?

For the O I wrapped yarn around it and cut out our state from a felted sweater.  I hot glued two pieces of the sweater to a cut out cereal box.  Then glued on a heart to the Oklahoma.  I love this one!

The ampersand sat and stared at me for awhile before I saw some episode of Martha Stewart where they were using glitter and a little light bulb went off in my head.  So off I went and started glittering away.  I used red glitter for the top and black glitter for the sides.  I wish I had spray painted it red first, but that was an afterthought unfortunately!

I'm hoping to finish up our stockings this evening.  Somehow I've managed to get sick and I feel like I'm just barely keeping my head above water!  If Jack wasn't asleep in my bed I'd be sewing right now!  I should probably stay away from Pinterest and do some picking up, but I can pick up anytime right?
