Monogram Wreath

So I have become inspired to make wreaths and other crafty things. I got some the ideas off the Internet now I am showing them to whomever is interested. 

Here is one wreath that I didn't take individual photos of each step... but you can make it easily. The only thing you might need some help with is how make the Felt roses.

My husband and I have been married for 5 years. Did you know that the 5th anniversary traditional gift is wood or it’s the "Wood Year"? Sorta like the 25th is "Silver" and 50th is "Gold. " My husband looked it up and I have no desired to double check him on it.  

Given that, I got a wooden R for our last name and painted it silver. Our wedding colors were teal and cobalt blue. We had a summer wedding and I wanted it to be full of color and that it was. The flowers we had were all bright orange, pink and yellow roses. To us it was perfect! I had blue and teal ribbon and felt that matched the flowers. I used all of these for our 5th Anniversary wreath (see photo).

This is my first project off of Pinterest. I took a couple of different ideas and then made it a little personal with her wedding color (sorta) and of course a W for new last name. I made this as a wedding gift for one of the girl's that graduated from  our youth ministries. I had never made felt roses before and they turned out great! They are very easy to do. You will want to use a glue gun if you are in a "hurry" instead of the glue. I decided to go with out the beads. I was also going to use a doily to make the W like it was covered in lace but thought that leaving it black would be better. It was a fun project to do and it was the start of my fun project list!
