LETTERS:
If you are choosing to add a word on your crayon, then you will need some felt. I freehand cutting the letters and used a small amount of hot glue to keep them on. If you crochet letters or surface crochet words, I suggest you do this before you sc the pieces together. Personally I like the clean crisp look of the felt letters.
