How to Make a Monogram Wreath by Taylor

Lately, my favorite pastime has been to pin things on Pinterest (thank you Katie for guiding me in becoming a Pinterestaholic!).  It is a great way to get a lot of crafting and style ideas.  While online, I came across an idea for a wreath made out of a twine.  It was in the shape of a letter, and being obsessed with monograms at the current moment,  I decided to try to make my own.  
My supplies
First, I painted my white letter "S" a color similar to that of the twine.  
 
Then, I wrapped several layers of twine around the "S," securing each strand with hot glue on the back of the letter.  



 

I used a fall colored fabric to make fabric flowers and glued them onto the "S."  Then, I hot glued brown satin ribbon to the back so that I could hang it from the wreath hanger on my door.  Doesn't it look precious?!  Now if only my door was painted a brighter color.....
