Jute Monogram Wreath

My new fall wreath is finally hanging on the door! Remember my "M" from the wedding? (You can view it here). Instead of it sitting in our basement for another 1+ years, I reused it to make a jute monogram wreath! In our house, I decided we can never have to many "M"s, (on the walls, on the shelf, in frames) so the monogram wreath seemed fitting.

what you'll need:

paper mache letter, jute, ribbon, felt, hot glue gun

I started by spray painting my "M" white to make sure it's all the same color underneath. Then, I glued one end of the twine to the back of the letter.

I wrapped the jute vertically around both sides of the "M" to start.

Then, I added some extra jute pieces to all four sides of the inside section so the jute wouldn't slide when I wrapped it horizontally.

Then I wrapped the whole thing horizontally and completely covered it.

Once the letter was completely covered, I added some felt flowers and ribbon for decoration.

This project took me about two hours, and was great to do while watching the Big Bang Theory. I am so excited to finally get something hanging on our door! It's perfect for the fall, but can be hung any time of the year!

Is anyone else obsessed with their initials?
