Wooden letters (Hobbycraft)
Fairy lights
A drill
A pencil
Paint
A4 Card
Glue

Place the letter on its side and cut directly through the centre, so that you end up with two identical halves. Disregard one as you only need one!

Measure each bulb. With your pencil, mark where you'd like to put each bulb on your letter. Drill a hole for each bulb in the wooden letters.

Paint your circus letters your favourite colour!

Cut the card (landscape) into 5cm strips. Glue around the edge of each letter to create a shade.

Feed your lights through the holes and enjoy the lovely glow!
