Has anyone tried covering wooden letters with fabric?
I got some wooden letters from a craft store and would like to cover them with fabric, but i don’t know what to use to get it to stick and look smooth.

I would use some fusable webbing that is ironed onto fabric. Then I would staple the fabric in the back. You can
always just staple it but it might pucker in front. Just pull the fabric tight when stapling.
Cut the fabric in strips and apply it with Modge Podge. It will dry clear.
I would cut the letters out of the fabric first, then apply 3m spray glue to the wooden letters.
This would work well for light to medium fabrics, but not so well on heavy wools etc.
You might want to apply a clear coat to the finished
work.
