Pop up the eighth bubble. Cut off the thirteenth bubble and tie off the end (Pic 21). Congratulations, you have made the capital letter E. Choose appropriate color sewing thread to link the letter E with other letters. As you can see here the light color thread is hardly visible on a light background. After you made and connected all letters in words you can attach the signs you made to a wall with a sticky tape. 
Have fun and happy twisting :)
