Monogram 'N' Wreath



Here's what I used:
Ribbon: The Ribbon Boutique Black Double Face Satin Ribbon
Yarn: Vanna's Glamour Platinum
Letter: Paper Mache Letter
Rosettes: Scrap fabric

Here's my notes:

**If I were to do this project again, I would choose a thicker yarn. I think a thicker yarn would lay better around the letter and provide better coverage.
**I used Mod Podge (Matte) to help keep the yarn in place every now and then.
**I used a hot glue gun to attach the ribbon (around the ends) and the bows and rosettes.

Want a great tutorial for this project?
