Twist the fourth four—inch bubble (Pic 7).

Twist the fifth soft two—inch bubble (Pic 8).

Lock both ends of the fifth bubble in one lock twist (Pic 9). This step is marked with arrows between points E and F on the scheme.

Twist the sixth two—inch bubble (Pic 10). You will pop the sixth bubble.

Twist the 7th soft two—inch bubble (Pic 11).

Lock both ends of the seventh bubble in one lock twist (Pic 12). This step is marked with arrows between points G and I on the scheme.

Lock both ends of the chain of the last five (the fourth through the eighth) bubbles in one lock twist (Pic 14). This step is marked with arrows between points J and D on the scheme.

Twist the ninth soft two—inch bubble (Pic 15).

Cut off the tenth bubble and tie off the end. Pop the sixth bubble (Pic 17). Congratulations, you have made the capital letter Y. Choose appropriate color sewing thread to link the letter Y 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 :)
