Fabric Covered Letter

Ok here is the tutorial for the fabulous door hanger...
The H I found is from Hobby Lobby, they have different sizes and styles of letters.
The fantastic fabric was a fat quarter I picked up and stashed for something fun :)
I traced the letter onto the backside of the fabric.
Cut the letter out as close as you can to the line. 
I used some homemade mod podge, brushed the mod podge onto the letter and very carefully place the fabric onto the letter.
Tip 1: You have to rub the fabric for as long as it takes the glue to dry or else it will bubble up at the last second. 
Tip 2: On most mod podge projects, you put the glue down before you put the whatever on and then brush glue on top of whatever you glued down... don't do that with this project, the fabric will peel off the letter VERY easily and is a lot more likely to bubble.
I used a razor blade to cut off any excess fabric that was hanging over.
I used a scrap piece of burlap for the hanger, just hot glued it onto the back of the letter.
Tied the bow with black burlap and hot glued it onto the middle of the 'hanger burlap'

and Taa Daa! I love it!
