I have been loving these letters from Anthropologie for a while now. I was excited to see them in person a couple weeks ago during my trip to Minneapolis. However, I was slightly disappointed. (Only in the letters, otherwise, awesome store!)
In my head these were stuffed and soft and ready to play. In reality they are fabric covered mdf with a little quilt batting (not to mention they are $12 a pop). So, I think I will try to fashion my own version. I'm just trying to figure out what to fill them with. Should I do a couple layers of really thick quilt batting? Or the standard poly-fill? Or maybe rice so they have more of a bean bag feel? Just can't decide...what do you guys think?
I think I will start with just A, B, and C first, then maybe spell out Sydney's name (shoot, should have picked a shorter name for the kid!). Actually, I could just make a B and the kiddo would be happy. Its the only letter she can say, so everything is a B. At least then she would be right!!

I would try using a couple of layers of batting....it would probably be the easiest, and give you the most uniform look. They are really cute letters. Can't wait to see your version of them.
So if I admit that I bought these when they were in browns a couple years ago, would you still love me?
How about foam rubber, then they would be stuffed and soft and ready to play.
Oh you could make those, easy peasy, dear! Everyone has perfect ideas, do what they say! ;)
