Vintage Frame, Burlap and Moss Monogram Wreath
Posted by melissa on Feb 18, 2013 in Uncategorized | 12 comments
I have been making wreaths lately.
I get on different “kicks.”
Wreath are the latest.
My kitchen countertops are full of burlap, ribbon, moss, glue gun debris.
I recently made a burlap wreath.
I have made a few wreaths for the shop.
But, I am wanting something new for my front door.
I am looking for:
A wreath that says “welcome to our home”. . .
A little different from others I have seen. . .
Includes materials that are similar to the style of my house. . .
I am asking a lot of this little wreath!
Today I think I have achieved what I have been aiming for.
I gathered my supplies:
-one oval yard sale frame
-burlap ribbon
-super thin ribbon
-sheet moss
-chipboard letter (also a yard sale find for me)
-hot glue gun (mine is not worthy of having her picture made)
I laid my chipboard letter on the moss and traced around it with a Sharpie and cut it out.
I left a little room to wrap the moss around the letter.
I had to make small cuts in the curves to be able to wrap the moss around the letter.
The gluing was done, but it was a messy on the back.
I trimmed it close with scissors.
Now on to the frame.
I folded the ribbon to give me a clean start.
I glued the ribbon on to the side of the frame.
I wanted to hide the seam as best as I could.
I began folding and gluing.
This is the back after all of the gluing was done.
I overlapped the ribbon about 2 inches where they met.
I added a dot of glue to the end of the ribbon to keep it secure.
Using the super thin ribbon, I glued the moss letter to the frame.
Ta-da!
I think this is what I have been looking for.
Now I can clean my countertops off!
Now on to enjoy a day out of school with my girls!
Life to the full,
Melissa

I love it!! It’s so prettyl!! I’ve been eyeing that blue burlap ribbon at Hobby Lobby but been refusing to buy it until I come up with a plan for it..hehe. Seeing how pretty it looks on your wreath has convinced me to just go out and get!!

what a sweet wreath. Must look pretty on your door!
I bought several rolls of the Hobby Lobby burlap ribbon because it was 50% off one week and the colors were great. I made a few projects, but I love the idea of a ruffle for a frame. Thanks for sharing!
So cute! Love the colors and the frame, it’s such a unique take on all the door wreaths out there.
I’m your newest follower by the way!
