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).
