DIY monogram door hanging
Hello! My name is Kristin and I am guest posting from
I have a huge love for home decorating and especially DIY projects! On my blog, you will find an array of DIY projects, recipes and a little bit of my personal life tossed in every now and again. My husband and I own a relatively small condo, but just because it’s small doesn’t mean it can’t be beautiful! We are constantly thinking of ways to make it more livable, organized and just plain gorgeous.
I don’t like to be caught without some sort of wreath or decoration hanging on my door, am I the only one? It’s something so simple that just spruces up your home and welcomes people in!
The trouble is that February is kind of an in-between month, right? It’s not the Holidays anymore and it’s not quite spring yet, so what do you do?
Here is my solution:
Jute wrapped, monogram door hanging!
What you will need:
Wooden monogram letter(Michael’s $2.99)
Jute(Michael’s $2.99)
Hot glue gun and glue sticks
Decorative flower of your choice(Michael’s $.99)
Ribbon(Michael’s $.75)
Start with a line of glue on the back of the letter.
Place your twine on top of the line of glue.
I wrapped the difficult areas first, I ended up doing a base layer and then a top layer of jute. It gives it a more uniform look in the end.
Just keep wrapping, wrapping and wrapping!
Sometimes it helps when you have an adorable puppy sitting with you.
My lil’ craft buddy!
See how I wrapped the top layer?
I wrapped the bottom layer vertically and the top layer horizontally.
Voila! Done!
I added a little bunch of flowers, wrapped a ribbon around and hot glued it.
Finished product!
It is gorgeous Kristin!
Thank you for sharing such a great project with my readers.
~Have a fabulous day~
I quite like that! So easy to do!
And that puppy is too cute. I have a bichon as well, they're so sweet!
That is adorable! And, it looks easy enough that I could actually do it 🙂 Thanks for the inspiration!
Very cute! N looks like one of the harder letters to wrap, but you did a nice job!
That is such a great idea and the puppy is absolutely adorable.
Love… love… love… both – the monogram and the buddy! Great job. Thanks for sharing… have a terrific Thursday
LOVE! and the dog is too cute too! If you'd li8ke, I would love it if you linked this to my Creative Things Thursday Party>>http://www.thevintagefarmhouse.com/2012/02/its-that-time-of-week-again.html
It's precious. I would definitely feel welcome if I came knocking on your door and saw that. It's also very creative. I love your crafts and find myself returning to see what you have done next. I don't know if I've said before, but I've added you to my blog roll so my friends can also visit. I know they'll love your site.
Love this! I did a moss covered monogram last year, but really love the texture of the jute on yours! Thanks for sharing.
I love it! Great idea and very nice tutorial.
What a great idea! I love it!!
I love this! Great tutuorial. I will have to make one while I'm watching one of my shows one night. The little dog is adorable!
Love it! I am so doing this. And what a cute poochie!
Fantastic idea and the first thing I'm going to do after making one for myself is make one for each of the 3 wedding couples I have to get gifts for in the next couple of months. So unique, and I think anybody would love one. Thanks for the tutorial!
