Burlap Monogram Wreath

I planned to make a burlap monogrammed wreath to hang on the front door for Emmie's shower, but unfortunately the wooden monogram didn't arrive on time.  I went ahead and made the wreath anyways and plan on mailing it to Emmie to use in Eliza Blair's nursery.  

I followed the tutorial from this blog and it was pretty easy to make. Because of my endless supply of burlap (which is actually sadly starting to dwindle) I only had to buy a few items.  I bought a styrofoam wreath form, straight pins, ribbon and the wooden monogram, which I purchased off of etsy. 

I started by wrapping the styrofoam wreath in burlap, then I cut 4 inch x 4 inch squares of burlap for the burlap "bubbles".  

Next I folded each square corner to corner and then folded the other two corners in and pinned it to the wreath.  

I continued the folding and pinning process and a few episodes of Keeping up with the Kardashians later, I was done. As you can tell from the above picture, Buford was intrigued by this project. I'm pleased with the way it turned out! I bought an extra wreath form and am planning on making one for our front door for the fall.
