Happy Fall! I am seriously in love with my new fall wreath! Its a simple monogram wreath that looks amazing on my front door! The fall tones, polkadots, and burlap are to die for. Bring on Autumn!!
Monogram Fall Wreath
Fall is one season that I think every front door needs a wreath for. I don’t know why, but its a wreath season to me! What do you think? This fall monogram wreath screams fall to me and I am loving it! I am so ready for fall and this wreath just makes me happy. This wreath was inspired by this wreath on Pinterest.
{See my past fall wreaths here and here.}
How to make a Monogram Wreath
Supplies:
- natural wreath form
- 10″ wood letter
- twine
- craft paint: burnt orange and metallic gold
- 6″ wide burlap ribbon {I used about 2 yards}
- 5 stems of fall flowers
- 2 stems of fall berries
- 1″ round pouncer
- paint brush
- hot glue
1. Paint the wood letter with the dark orange paint. {I did 3 coats}. Allow to dry thoroughly. {I used a hair dryer to speed up the process in this humid VA climate!}
2. Use the round pouncer and gold paint to create the polkadots. Allow to dry thoroughly.
3. Attach the letter to the wreath using the twine and hot glue.
4. Using the burlap ribbon, make a bow. Here’s a tip on how to cut the ends of the burlap bow straight:
How to Cut Burlap Straight
Snip the edge of the burlap and pull one single strand of burlap out. Then using scissors, cut along the line where the strand was removed and you will get a completely straight line! This will also help the burlap from shedding as much. {you might remember this from here}
5. After you trim off the ends of the burlap bow, its a good idea to sew across the burlap ends with a straight stitch on your sewing machine to keep the ends from fraying over time. {optional, but recommended}
6. Hot glue the burlap bow across the wreath from the monogram.
7. If your silk flowers are upright, bend them over slightly {as shown above} so that when you lay them on the wreath, the flower will show.
8. Arrange the silk flowers and berry stems around the burlap bow and hot glue in place. I put the berries on each end of the flowers to soften the look. I liked how my silk flowers had green leaves so I tried to make them show in a few places to add more color and depth to the wreath.
I used wire to attach the wreath to the nail in my front door. And I absolutely adore this pretty monogram fall wreath! If you enjoyed this wreath tutorial, please pin it on Pinterest or share it with your fiends!

Love this wreath! The colors go well together and I love the burlap bow!
Love this wreath Linda! I have been looking for a wreath to make for fall and I believe I just found it! Thanks for posting.
wow, can’t believe it’s fall already! Think I have to make one of these and it looks pretty easy to do.
Thanks for giving me the push to change season gears. Pinned.
I’m going to make this tonight, I already have everything I need.
Just a few questions: How wide was the ribbon you used and how many yards? Also, what was the size of the letters? Sorry so many questions but what type of paint – the ones in the squeeze bottles? I love this idea and am anxious to try it soon. Thanks!
Hi Vicki,
I’m so sorry I left out those details! I wrote that post really late. The burlap ribbon is 6″ wide and I used about 2 yards. The wood letter is 10″ tall. And yes, I used the 2oz squeeze bottles of craft paint in gloss/metallic finishes. If you have anymore questions, just let me know! I’d love to see your wreath, if you get a second :) Thanks for stopping by!
happy crafting,
Linda
Love this idea, now why did I not think of it. The initial is fantastic.
I might go smaller with the letters and spell ” F A L L” instead of the initial. (depending on the cost of the letters)
Awesome, Diane! I’d love to see your version, if you have a chance! :)
happy crafting!
Linda

Hello! This wreath is just gorgeous! I need a fall wreath for my front door.
It’s been a couple of years almost since you made this wreath, and I’d assume you used it and loved it because it’s amazing. So I’m hoping you’ll be able to answer my question at this point.
I made a Christmas wreath a couple of years ago with berries in it. I didn’t even think of the possibility that the berries would hate being outdoors exposed to the elements and the color would bleed down my door and eventually the berries would burst open and the white foam would show. That’s, of course, exactly what happened. Thankfully it kind of just looks like little snowballs in my wreath, so I left them.
Did you have any trouble like this with this wreath? I’ll have to look around the craft store some more when I pick up the supplies for this wreath to see if I can find some outdoor decorations to use. Unfortunately my door is exposed to all of the elements and there’s no changing it.
Hi Katie! This wreath is definitely loved! When it was on my front door, I had a north facing front door and didn’t have any problems. And last year I used it in side. So I can’t speak to how it would handle extreme weather elements. I’m sorry!!
I loveeee this wreath!! I just finished making it ! I made it for my family, I used the letter U because that’s what our last name begins with. Everyone who comes to visit always asks where I bought it (hahaha). Thank you for this!! :)))
That is awesome! I’m so glad you made one! :)
I will definitely be taking on this project. Looks like you can get really creative with it. My project for the weekend.
Happy Crafting!
