DIY: FALL FLOWER MONOGRAM

I don’t know about you, but I love to add decorative pieces to my house to transition into the different seasons. Adding some seasonal colours, textures, scents, etc. can really transform your home without having to break the bank. This vibrant flower monogram is the perfect DIY project to add a touch of fall to your home.

WHAT YOU’LL NEED:

– Cardboard

– Various flowers

– Twine

– Glue gun

– Scissors

STEPS:

1. Cut your cardboard out into the desired letter or shape. I went with the letter A for Anitha! I also decided to make it a block letter so I will have a lot of surface area to fill with flowers.

2. Take your twine and cut it to the length you want to it to be hung from. Poke two holes at the top and string through to make a loop.

3. Remove the flowers from the steams. Cut the ends to be flat so it will be easy to glue onto the cardboard.

4. Arrange the flowers onto your cutout. There really is no specific way to do this. Just play around with it until you get the look you want and glue them into place!

This is a super easy art project that will liven up your place for fall. You can hang it in your room, use it as a wreath for the front door, etc. Either way, it is a great piece of décor to add to your home!

DIY: FALL WREATH

A wreath is a great decorative item to add to the front of your house for the different seasons. I love the rustic yet vibrant feel of fall and I wanted to create something that would embody that. Here is a quick DIY project for you to get creative this fall!

WHAT YOU’LL NEED:

– Wooden wreath

– Various flowers / sprigs

– Burlap Ribbon

– Glue gun

– Wire cutter

– Scissors

STEPS:

1. Take the burlap ribbon and wrap it around the wreath leaving wide gaps so the wreath still shows through. You can use any ribbon of your liking but I chose to go with burlap because I like the rustic look it gives.

2. Take the flowers off of the stems or cut them into pieces so you can stick them onto the wreath.

3. Arrange the flowers to your liking. You can get really creative with this part. I chose to put majority of the flowers towards the bottom of the wreath and then tucked in the sprigs around the rest. You can stick the flowers right into the wreath and glue them down if needed.

This wreath took me about 20 minutes to make and it cost under $20! It is a fast and inexpensive DIY project that will definitely get all your guests asking where you got it! What’s great about this DIY project is that you can always reuse the original wooden wreath and decorate it for the changing seasons. Get creative and let me know how your wreath turns out!
