I’ve seen fabric covered wire words at different craft sales and I thought it would be a great way to use up old colorful fabric scraps and create some fun and meaningful decor for my kids’ rooms. Create a name or make a favorite inspirational word.
Making wire words is a super simple project that took me less than ten minutes per word and I used supplies that I already had on hand. The best kind of craft, right?
I used soldering wire but you can use any thick but pliable wire. I ripped fabric strips {about 1/4-1/2 inch wide and about three inches long} and wrapped them around the wire. Where the strips change to other colors, I just wrapped the new color tightly over the old color and over itself {you could also add a drop of hot glue … I did that at the very end to hold everything in place}.
Once you have the wire covered completely, twist it into the word or shape you want, bending it into cursive letters. This is such a great way to use up that fabric stash!
The wire holds its shape well and this little word looks so cute in Kennedy’s room. You can prop it on a shelf or add a small hanger to attach it to a nail on the wall.
For more ideas for a teen or tween room, be sure to check out this monogram wall string art …
… and a monogrammed cork board {can you tell I love a good monogram?}.
They would make a great gift! I think my girls would have fun making these with me.
I love this–it’s super cute and actually doable! Wouldn’t these be cute as a gift topper? The person’s name, maybe?
So simple and sweet…LOVE it!
I love this idea…. now I have to think of what word to chose!! Hmmmm?
Adorable!!
