How to make a Halloween Boo Decoration

Cut your fabric into strips of around 2-3 cm.
Wrap your letters entirely in a base colour, I've used some sparkly silver fabric. Stick the end of your fabric to the reverse of the letters with sticky tape, then wrap your length of fabric, finishing on the reverse and sticking with tape.
Wrap your letters in the top colours, these don't need to cover the letters completely, just in a stripy pattern to that the base fabric can still be seen. I did this step in black and dark blue.
Wrap your letters with a length of yarn, just to hold everything in place and as an added interest layer.
