I’ve wanted to make one of these FOREVER (or at least since last summer) so I was super excited when the stars aligned and I finally had all the stuff and the time!
All you need is a cardboard letter, moss sheets, spray adhesive, and tacks. *I used some hot glue to add some burlap ribbon, too.
Take your letter out to the garage and spray that sucker down with adhesive and then wrap it like a present with the moss.
I didn’t cover the back because no one was going to see it anyways.
Here’s the front of my D all wrapped up.
Then I took the tacks and pushed them in around the edges. I just eyeballed it but you could measure it, too.
Here D is with her pretty tacks in place on the front.
I also stuck tacks down the sides and in the center of the D just to finish off the look.
I ran a bead of hot glue across the top of the D to attach my burlap ribbon.
Once the glue was set I tied a bow and hung my new monogram moss wreath on our front porch. She was worth the wait!

You could totally do this! If you can wrap a present you can make this! Thanks SO much for pinning my project. Maybe someone will make it for you!
This is so adorable! I love using moss this time of year and the studs are the perfect touch
Thank you so much! I think the studs give it a little polish! It makes smile when I walk by.
