February DIY

monogrammed wreath!

sooo there has been a wreath hanger on our front door for months with nothing hanging on it.  i have a fall wreath with pumpkins and leaves, but i only use it for a few months out of the year.  i realized a monogrammed wreath would be perfect for the rest of the year! its pretty easy and cheap.

supplies: wreath, flowers, ribbon, initial, spray paint (color of your choice), and scissors.

first, i intertwined the flowers and used twine to secure them.

next, i tied the bow. i used wired ribbon. it was difficult to tie, but i think it will hold its shape better over time. i wish i could've found a white and gray chevron ribbon, i'm obsessed with it right now. still pretty.

then, i painted the letter. let it dry. and secured it to the wreath. my letter wasn't quite big enough to rest both ends on the wreath so i collected sticks from outside, shoved one end into the wreath and hot glued the other to the back on the letter. i probably could've thought of something a little sturdier, but it works. hah

the finished project! i totally love it! and if you think i'm super creative, don't be fooled. i found this idea on pinterest :)
