- Gather materials: cardboard, ruler, pencil, utility knife or scissors, glue, and optional decorations.
- Print or draw a large block letter template (e.g., “J”) on grid paper for accurate scaling.
- Trace the template onto the cardboard, ensuring clean, straight lines.
- Carefully cut out the letter shape using a sharp utility knife on a cutting mat or heavy-duty scissors.
- For a 3D effect, cut a second identical letter and attach it to the first with cardboard strips along the edges to form a box-like structure.
- Reinforce seams with glue or tape for stability.
- Decorate the letter as desired—paint, wrap in yarn, cover with pom-poms, or leave plain.
- Let dry completely before displaying.
