Shorewest Shares: How To Make a Monogram Wreath

by

 

Supplies:

• Natural wreath form
• 10” wood letter
• Twine
• Craft paint: burnt orange and metallic gold
• 6” wide burlap ribbon (about 2 yards)
• 5 stems of fall flowers
• 2 stems of fall berries
• 1” round pouncer brush
• Paint brush
• Hot glue

 

 

1. Paint the wood letter with the burnt orange paint (3 coats preferably). Allow to dry thoroughly.

 

2. Use the round pouncer and gold paint to create the polkadots. Allow to dry thoroughly.

 

3. Attach the letter to the wreath using the twine and hot glue.

 

4. Make a bow using the burlap ribbon.

 

5. After you trim off your ends of the burlap bow, it’s a good idea to sew across the burlap ends with a straight stitch on your sewing machine to keep the ends from fraying over time (optional, but recommended).

 

6. Hot glue the burlap bow across the wreath from the monogram.

 

7. Arrange the silk flowers and berry stems around the burlap bow and hot blue in place. You can put the berries on each end of the flowers to soften the look.

 

8. Attach the wreath to your front door and TA-DA! You have a fall wreath.
