I embroidered these applique letters and glued them onto poster board. I first attempted to just cut out some of the ribbon and glue it onto wooden letters but that didn't work so well. The epiphany that I could embroider them instead of gluing ribbon onto wood came during a sleepless night (worrying about how to get it done). The ribbon is only 2 1/2" wide and the letters are about 3 1/2" wide, so I had to match the ribbon up. This was not the easiest project I've ever tackled, but I like the way it turned out. Yeah, I know the letters need straightening, I just need to take the time to remove them and try to do that without any damage to the frame. Thanks for looking. ~Pam

That is so beautiful. Lots of thinking and re thinking but sure worth it when it looks this good.
I didn't notice the word was crooked until you told me.

Just love how you achieved the words with the ribbon being 1 inch narrower,
Well done y

Your project turned out lovely Pam and if you had not mentioned the letters, I would not have noticed. Great creativity on your part!

This is a wonderful project! I love the bow and pine branches! A lot of times I've seen letters that were offset from one another that looked fantastic! I sure wouldn't reposition the letters because they are fantastic as they are. Besides, the right side of them line up perfectly to the outside rim. So they are perfect!
