Monogram Wreath

Here is the wreath that I made.
I originally thought to use it as a chistmas wreath but of course it wasn't made in time :)
The inspiration was from Linda over on Craftaholics Anonymous.
She made hers with strips of burlap, but I didn't have any.
SO...
I made mine with the extra length of fabric cut from the boys curtains!

What a good model ;P

This is the 20 inch frame I used for the wreath.

The strips of fabric I cut into 1X6 inch lengths and then just tied them around the frame.

Total cost of project: $4.30!!

*Frame - $3 from Michaels *Letter M - $1 from Hobby Lobby *Paper - 30 cents from Hobby Lobby *Ribbon - free (on hand) *Fabric - free (on hand)

    Your wreath is GORGEOUS!! So cool you repurposed some curtains, too. I like the monogram in the center, what a fun idea! If you don't mind, I'm going to feature this on my blog today :) Thanks for sending me the link!

  5. Thank you. It was fun to make :)
    I think I used about a yard? It was just the ends of some curtains I had hemmed. I hope that helps.

    Also, the curtains were thick. If you go with a thinner fabric I would probably double that amount?
