Several months ago, I saw a
monogram wreath on an Etsy
shop that I really liked. Go here to see my original inspiration.
I knew that I could make a similar looking wreath for less money than it would cost to buy it off of Etsy. For someone who is not crafty, Etsy is a great place to buy a variety of unique hand-made items. However, I would consider myself crafty. Often times, it is much more cost-effective for me to try to make some of the things I like instead of buying them.
My original inspriration cost $35 before shipping. The only thing that I had to buy
for this project was a $5 cardboard monogram from my local craft store, making this piece of home decor much cheaper to make myself. I already had the following materials on hand
from previous projects: yarn, hot glue,
ribbon, black cardstock and a book page.
First, I wrapped yarn around the
cardboard monogram.

The next step was to make three flowers, two
from black cardstock and one from a book page, like the one’s I made for my DIY
Flower Wreath from Book Pages. Once the flowers were made, I attached them to the monogram using hot glue. You can find my flower tutorial here.
