Spring Monogram "Wreath"

Last weekend I finally took down my Christmas wreath. Since it was red I figured it worked for Valentine's Day too, right? But not so much March or April.

Made by hot gluing fake berries on a M painted silver

So I finally got around to making a spring themed monogram. I have seen a few "wreaths" on Pinterest that are used with a frame. Well of course I have a large collection of frames from garage sales. I had a great solid wood antique frame which was perfect since it was already backless and glass-less. I went to Michael's and bought a wooden letter, some flowers, and ribbon. I spent $12 and the frame I already had was $1.

I pulled the flowers off of the stem and then hot glued them to the letter. I only used half the flowers so I put the rest in a vase inside.

I looped the ribbon around the frame and then hot glued it to the back of the letter. You can see how I looped it in the picture below. If I did this again, I would just staple the ribbon to the frame instead of looping it around like that. The problem with how I did it is that the letter hangs kind of crookedly in the frame. Its not bothering me too much right  now but I may fix it later. 

I then just tied my big ribbon around the top. I tried looking up different fancy bows but ended up just sticking with a basic bow...And then hung the frame by the bow on my wreath hook. I love that ribbon and have a lot left so I can't wait to use it somewhere else. 

Now I just need one for the summer! Already thinking of some ideas...maybe something with sand or shells?
