With all the cool burlap ribbon in the stores these days and
monogram letters of all kinds, I thought it would awesome to create a monogram
rose burlap wreath for my front door.
Since I put my wreath on a glass storm door with a suction
hook, it was hard to photograph without a reflection so I took the photograph
on an indoor wall so you can better see how gorgeous it turned out. When you attach it to a glass door it’s even
more beautiful!
Supplies:
Flat wreath form 12” diameter
2 ½” wide wired natural color burlap ribbon
Green burlap ribbon
Monogram wooden letter of choice ½” thick
Self stick cork sheet
Eye screw
18 ml wire
7 Daisy artificial flowers in choice of color
Drill with small drill bit
Hot glue gun and hot glue sticks
Lighter
Pencil
Scissors
Ruler
Instructions:
1.
On the self-stick cork sheet, trace around your
letter, cut out. Remove the backing attach to the letter. Do this on the front of the letter and then
turn over and repeat on the back of the letter.
2.
Using a drill and small drill bit, drill a hole
in the top center of the letter. Attach an eye screw in the hole you drilled.
3.
Wrap the green burlap all around the wreath form
and attach with some hot glue. Make sure
you mark an area on the wreath from where there is a hole (There are holes all
around this flat wreath form) Thread a piece of wire through the hole in the
burlap covered wreath from, form a loop at the top and twist to secure. (This
will be the top hanger of your wreath)
4.
Attach another piece of wire through the eyehook
on the top of your letter; thread the ends through the same hole you used for
the hanger and twist to secure.
5.
Make your burlap roses. Cut a piece of 2 ½” natural colored burlap
ribbon 24 inches long. Begin by burning
both ends with a lighter to stop any fraying.
Next, twist the ends around for the center of your rose and put a dab of
hot glue to secure. Continue twisting
and turning, and occasionally adding a dab of glue. Always twist and turn in
the same direction. Continue until you reach the end. Secure with a dab of glue. Make 6 more so you have seven burlap roses.
6.
Starting at the top, attach a burlap rose with
an ample amount of hot glue to the front of the wreath. Add a daisy next and continue around
alternating, rose and daisy till you reach the end.
