You will noticed in my design, the “B” and “Y” are are not connect. That is okay, we will create a rectangle at the bottom to make sure they are all connected.
Create a rectangle
for this project you can see in the second photo I used 5.82x.324

Add any other cute shapes that you like. Here I used a simple party and balloon.
