Seriously love each one of these on my picture wall!!!!
Onto the TUTORIAL..
1. In Word and start with “Child's name is…"list all characteristics. Don't worry about spacing not quite yet! See... I am really not this creative. Hint: In Word, the thesaurus is Shift+F7.
2. Change fonts – keep your font size at least 1/2” or 36 pts size font. Be sure to BOLD the words before playing with the fonts. I absolutely love the following fonts. Grenoulle, Honey Script, I’m Bored, and Monterey. Seriously HAVE FUN!
3. Once you get it to where you like it… print on burlap. Make sure you have a little bit of a margin. For a very nice tutorial (haha it's mine!) for printing on burlap. Then trim the burlap to fit the frame.
4. Place in picture frame. They often go on sale at JoAnns pretty regularly, if not USE A COUPON. I purchased and 8"x8 frame. I left the glass in and hot glued the burlap to a piece of cardboard before placing into frame.
5. Paint letter. After distress, rough up edges with some sand paper. They are ~$1.50 at JoAnn's. Cheap huh? 
6. Glue on ribbon. I like wire - it is very obedient - much more than my hair today. grrrr!
7. Make and place three burlap flowers. For a great tutorial on the burlap roses, go to Under My Umbrella.
Ta - Da... So stinking CUTE!
