I finally created a wreath that looks half way decent! I am so excited to share this monogram wreath! Of course, this wreath was done last year, but since I took this picture I painted the front door! I decided to re-post because it was a so popular. I am going to update this for winter with red berries. I heard a fun quote: “In the south, if it ain’t moving.. we monogram it.” I love that!
Supplies
Grapevine wreath from Michael’s (with coupon)
Garland branches (2) from Hobby Lobby (weekly sale)
Wire cutters to cut the stems.
I just cut the stems off the garland and wove it between
the grapevine branches. I didn’t use glue (I’ll see how it holds up this week).
I could not get the acrylic thread to attach to the “N” so I used wire and hid the wire under the stems. Having the wire show is like panty lines… not pretty but sometimes it’s just easier!
Loving it!
very cooL! ill have to try it next year, or maybe switch it for another season!
I use a method very similar to this for my green wreaths & they hold up great! You can’t beat a basic green wreath with a monogram!
Love how simple yet stunning this is!
