Step 1) Decide where you want to place the felt letters. We prefer the bottom right corner, about . Pay attention to how the pillow sits and mark the location. Then remove the pillow cover.
Step 2) Remove the paper backing from the letters (this should leave a white ‘webbing.’)
Step 3) Use an iron on ‘wool’ setting to lightly adhere the letters in order where you would like them. – double check! AMDG. This will keep the letters in place while you sew but will not hold permanently.

Step 4) Put on hoop and embroider! We prefer a back stitch around all the letters, but lots of French knots, blanket stitch, or split stitch would all be lovely. (We actually ended up using stem stitch! )
We sent matching thread, but embroidering with contrasting color(s) would be fun too!
Step 5) Remove the hoop and lightly iron if needed. Put the pillow cover back on the pillow and enjoy this reminder to do everything ‘For God’s Greater Glory.’
