"HELLO !" sign : DONE !!!

I've promised you a post at the beginning of the week, but the working and final touches took more time than expected…. sorry !!!

lying the letters made more simple and fast the selection of the proper yarns for borders…

…. and for the ribbons….

…. to wrap around metallic hangers…

Each time one hanger was ready ( the glue had to dry properly), I attached one letter to it using the "join-as-you-go" method…

Few days ago all the letters were ready…

…. and they were patiently waiting for the right moment to be hanged at the entrance wall….

…. so, this morning, I kindly asked my husband to hammer some nails in the wall….

…the light was not yet good to take quality pictures, but I didn't want to wait anymore!!!!

…. just to give you an idea of their dimensions….

…. some pompoms and a "!" were mandatory…..

…. Another look ????

!!!!!!!

This project was really simple :

•  5mm hook
• some colourful yarns (acrylic worked well for me), to crochet 5 rounds granny squares (total : 47)
• join as you go method, used to attach each granny square to another and to join the letters to the hangers
• a pair of scissors
• a yarn needle
• 5 metallic hangers
• ribbons to wrap around hangers
• some extra yarns to crochet the borders for each letter (just a round of US single crochets)
• one pom pom maker
• glue
• clear fishing line to fix the "E" and both "L"s and to attach the dot of the exclamation mark!!!!
• nails and hammer
• THAT'S ALL !!!!!
