Make This: Floral Monogram Wreath

 Make This:
Floral Monogram Wreath 
You’ll be the envy of the neighborhood after
sprucing up your front door with a wooden letter decorated
with silk flowers and floral print craft paper.


On The Set of Creative Juice!

Supplies:
6” Wood letter of choice
fine grit sandpaper
White craft paint & paintbrush
Floral print scrapbook paper
Glue stick
Hot glue
1 large silk hydrangea
1/4” decorative ribbon
Small rhinestones

Monogram Steps:

1. Using fine-grit sandpaper, sand the top of the letter. Paint the letter with craft paint any allow to dry.

2. Trace the letter onto the backside of the scrapbook paper. Cut out the tracing and use a glue stick to attach the paper to the front of the letter. Use your fingers to press out any air bubbles.

3. Break apart the silk flower so you have lots of little petals. Use hot glue to attach the petals to the top of the letter. (You can glue them in a random pattern or all over the letter) Add rhinestones for decorative effect.

4. Cut 10” off your decorative ribbon (This will be your hanger) Turn the letter over and attach the ribbon hanger by forming a u shape with the ribbon and hot gluing the ends down.

5. Add the remaining ribbon around the outer edge of the letter.
