Fall in Love: Autumn Door Monogram

Sharing is caring!

My sister and her hubby were in town last weekend from Chicago for a quick visit over Labor Day weekend. They just moved a couple of months ago and I wanted to create something special for her new apartment.

What do you think? Pretty cute, huh? I’ll show you how I created it!

I ran across an adorable leaf wreath a couple of weeks ago on Pinterest and thought this would be a perfect project to create for my sister’s front door. I found a large cardboard W for their last name from JoAnn Fabrics and got some leaves and wire ribbon from the Dollar Store.

I used my hot glue gun to secure each leaf onto the cardboard letter. I made sure to mix the color arrangement of red, green and yellow leaves.

Here’s a little bit of progress….

And a little more… Really, it’s quite easy. Just a lot of gluing!

Here’s the cardboard letter all with about 5 bags of leaves glued on!

Now it’s time to add on the wired ribbon so I can hang the large W.

I found this wired ribbon from the Dollar Store in a nice Fall pattern. I cut two 12 inch pieces and hot glued them onto the back of the large cardboard letter.

I tied the ends into a large bow and that’s it!

    The kids and I have been collecting leaves for a similar project. Your came out so well… Definitely inspiring me to get started already. I was planning on using the always reliable mod podge, but now considering your technique.

    Cute Idea! We might try it with real leaves. It would be a good project to do with the kids.
