Alphabet pocket wall hanging...

This is a wall hanging I made for my nephew's first birthday. It was my first attempt at anything like this, and I couldn't find a pattern/tutorial anywhere so I kind of made it up as I went along! I did use a fantastic tutorial on youtube to construct the pockets - if I can find it again I will post a link!

I had a set of wooden letters I picked up at a sale last year, so I sized the pockets to fit.

The alphabet template was printed using Word and the letters were applied using Vliesofix and machine applique (thanks to Liesl at HoppoBumpo for introduing me to the wonders of Vliesofix last year!)

Here's one I prepared earlier...

 

This is a wall hanging I made for my daughter's room. The letters are KaiserCraft's MDF Funky Alphabet, which I picked up at Spotlight (unfortunately Spotlight don't carry this range anymore, but I notice they are still on KaiserCrafts website so may be available elsewhere.

I painted them and covered the front with assorted scrapbooking papers. I picked up the frame at my local op shop for $1 *yay* sanded it back (it was mission brown!) and painted it white. The letters are attached with ribbon using a staple gun.

Here it is hanging above her bed.
