Twine Not? Day 3 of 5 Days, 5 Ways


I love monograms.  I've been wanting to get an "S" for sometime to decorate our bookshelf with, but just haven't found the right one.  Then I was thinking I could paper mache one, but that was all before I thought of making a twine "S."

The moment I thought of the idea, I wanted to get to work.  So I grabbed a paper plate and freehanded an "S."  This was a bit more challenging than I had anticipated, but after about three tries I was satisfied with what I had.


 So I cut it out...


...and started to wrap the letter.


I kept wrapping and having to stop from time to time to cut off the extremely frayed sections of the twine.


Finally it was finished and after a quick trim to tame the beast...yes it was beastly. . . 


It was finished and looked great!


Love it.  Probably my favorite twine project!

Take a look at the rest of the twine series: day 1 and day 2!
