M is for Monogram {Scrappy Spring Wreath}

 Hello there…Happy Saturday!  It’s your lucky day!  I normally don’t post on Saturdays, but last year I was a part of an A-Z Monthly Craft Challenge organized by Stephanie at Crafting in the Rain and of course I had to take part again this year.  

Can you guess what letter I chose?

If you guessed ‘M’…ding, ding, ding…You are correct!

‘M’ is for Monogram…of course a Monogram all decked out.  I love Monograms!

Such a quick and easy project too…

You’ll need…

{Monogram (mine is from Hobby Lobby clearance), fabric and/or ribbon scraps, scissors for cutting (not pictured)}

If you cannot find a Monogram exactly like mine…don’t stress!  You could easily use a round wreath form and hang an initial in the middle.

I happened to buy this monogram on clearance at Hobby Lobby last year and had it hanging in my dining room.  But…every time I looked over at it it seemed like it needed a new home.  It wasn’t doing much for the dining room, but I never thought up a new home for it.  Then when the A to Z Challenge came along, I knew exactly what to do with it…

First I cut a twill fabric into strips long enough to tie around the circle.  Then, I just started tying the strips on.  It’s just that easy!  

Once I had all of the twill strips tied on, it looked a little bare…It needed a little something more.

COLOR, of course!

So…I raided my ribbon stash and tied on a few strips of ribbon in bright Springy colors…

Much better…just the pop of color the wreath needed. And a great use of scraps!

This works perfectly on my front door, which is often neglected when it comes to wreaths.  My husband would flip if the door got all scratched up, so I usually don;t hang anything on it.  The fabric scraps provide a soft barrier between the door and the wreath.  Yay!  Problem solved.  Now…I just need to Spring-ify the rest of my front porch… I’d say I’m off to a great start!  Of course you want to see all of the other A to Z projects, so head on over to Crafting in the Rain to check them out…
