Cut off the thirteenth bubble and tie off the end. Congratulations, you have made the digit 2 (Pic 21). 

Choose appropriate color sewing thread to fix the sculpture in the shape of the digit 2 (Pic 22) and to attach it to other letters or digits. As you can see here the light color thread is hardly visible on a light background. After you made and connected all digits and letters in words you can attach the signs you made to a wall with a sticky tape. 
Have fun and happy twisting :)
