Okay, I'll admit it.
I fell for a trend. I'm absolutely sold on monograms.
I'm not sure why, either. Maybe it's because I think my first initial is cool? Nah, probably not. Maybe it's because Pinterest has shown me that the world of wall-hanging monograms is a vast one; you can make your monogram as fun or as timeless as you like!
I'm going to show you two monogram letters that are currently hanging in my room. There have been many, many more that I've made, but I'll start with these two beauties for today.
Let me start off by saying this: When I first started dating T, a majority of our time on dates (usually walking through the park) was spent ogling trees, flowers, and moss. But mostly moss.
I learned SO much about moss that year!
For example.....
Look! A Club Moss!
A Bryophyte? Who knows. Anywho....
I took the inspiration for T's moss monogram from this blog.
I simply love this idea! I would post the step-by-step, but they already did so I'll recommend that you go there and try it!
I have some tips though:
1) They really DO have sheets of moss with webbing on the back at the DOLLAR STORE! This truly is a remarkable discovery! We have a Dollar Tree here and they had the sheet moss readily available.
2) A little goes a long way! I had a 10" letter and I used 2 packages of moss with a bunch left over.
3) If you want a more "unkempt" look, you should try the loose Spanish Moss that can also be found at the Dollar Store! It'll make a mess, but spraying hairspray on the finished product will help hold the moss in place.
Here's the finished product!
Stay tuned for Crafty Monogram #2!
Lotsa Love,
