Prepare the Front Panel

Step One

Back the floral fabric with Bondaweb. Place the letter template onto the floral side of the fabric, trace around it, and cut out the letter shape.

Attach Floral Fabric to Felt

Step Two

Peel off the Bondaweb backing and position the floral fabric letter onto a piece of felt. Iron the letter in place, then carefully cut around it, leaving an extra 1/2 inch (12mm) border of felt around the edges. Use chain stitch to neatly edge the floral fabric.

Add Eyelet Holes and Ribbon

Step Three

Utilize an eyelet punch to create evenly spaced holes around the letter, approximately 1/2 inch (12mm) apart. Thread a ribbon through these holes using a back stitch, allowing it to encircle the entire letter. Embellish the letter further by attaching a variety of buttons as desired.

Create the Back Panel

Step Four

Duplicate the letter shape by tracing and cutting it out of another piece of felt. Align the front and back pieces with wrong sides together. Fold a wide ribbon in half and insert the ends between the two felt pieces. Secure the ribbon in place on each side with a few small stitches.

Finish with Blanket Stitch

Step Five

Work a blanket stitch around the entire edge of the letter, ensuring to leave a small gap at the top. Insert stuffing through the gap, filling the letter to your desired level of plumpness. Close the gap by continuing the blanket stitch until the letter is securely sealed.


These quilted hanging letters are not only a fantastic decoration for your child's room but also a wonderful opportunity for family crafting. Watch your children's faces light up as they proudly display their own personalized initials on their bedroom door handle. It's a fun and creative project that adds a touch of charm to any space!
