Add some farmhouse wall decor to your front door! Make your own beautiful monogrammed burlap wreath that’s perfect for any season.
Why is it that almost anything becomes 100x prettier with a monogram on it? It’s like the finishing touch to almost any project. That’s actually what spawned this idea for may monogrammed burlap wreath.
This wreath is so, so simple! I originally shared this on my Facebook page, and after it went viral I had tons and tons of requests for a blog post – so I’m going to break it down… how to make a monogrammed burlap wreath.
First, you can watch the video:
Now let’s get down to the step by step. You’ll need these supplies:
*affiliate links for your convenience*
- polka dot burlap ribbon
- 10 inch embroidery hoop
- 10 inch wood letter
- craft paint
- hot glue gun + glue
First I painted a 10 inch wood letter with craft paint (although you could totally use spray paint.) Then I let it dry while I made the wreath.
I cut 20 pieces of wired burlap ribbon that are 14 inches long and 18 inches long, so it would make the wreath have more dimension and appear thicker. I also cut a V out of each end so it wouldn’t fray.
Then I tied the pieces around a 10 inch embroidery hoop, using both pieces to give it more strength. After it was tied all the way around, I took off the screw and then bent the eye pieces so I could tie all the way around.
Once the wreath was finished, I hot glued the monogram to the wreath, then put heavy books on top to let the glue completely cool before hanging.

How many rolls of ribbon did it take?
It took 18 yards of ribbon total, so it depends on the size of the rolls you buy 🙂 Have fun making it!
Was that 1 inch wide ribbon? That is an adorable wreath
Thanks so much Janet, the ribbon I used was 2.5 inches:)
I used about 18 yards of ribbon, so it would depend on the size of your rolls 🙂
I used 4 total or 3 1/2
Too hard to make…ribbon was too hard to attach.
On the ribbon did you use the different lengths every other one?
Yes Rebecca, one 14 inches and one 18 inches, alternating. Good luck!
I can also see this being done in Christmas or fall colors for whatever season of the year you are in. thanks for an easy tutorial.
Great idea Mary and it is my pleasure!
Gina: How wide was the ribbon you used to make the wreath? I would love to make these for housewarming gifts for two of my nieces.
It is standard 2 inch ribbon Dawn 🙂 Good luck !
I’m working on one of these today, your video is great ! I’m finding it hard to tie the ribbon is that normal?
Hey Debbie, just work with it, it will get easier as you move along 🙂 Good luck!
So I made you right wreath yesterday. Came out really nice. I’ll post a picture on your website. Couple things though, having a black door. Can’t really see my Initial. So I would recommend to use any color that works with the home. Second where did you find the burlap ribbon? I went to every craft store near me and never found it, I use wire ribbon. 7 big rolls and still needed one more.
I’d love to see it Heather! Yes, I agree, use whatever color that will work with your door. I got my ribbon at Hobby Lobby.
How much would you charge to make these for people?
Hmmmm, I’m not sure Dawn. You could add up what it cost you to make it and then decide how much you would like to profit and add that to the cost. I just made mine for my door 🙂
Does the ribbon need to be wired? So cute can’t wait to make this 🙂
Awesome Sharon, have fun making it and yes I did use wired ribbon but you could use regular too, I just prefer the wired as it holds its shape better 🙂
Gina, where did you get your pattern for the Monogram?
Hey Candy, I got it from Amazon. Here is a link, https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B018QOJQVA/ref=as_li_qf_sp_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=theshachicot-20&camp=1789&creative=9325&linkCode=as2&creativeASIN=B018QOJQVA&linkId=70eaea034c0205810f3a26e273db468c
You also might be able to find one at Michaels or Hobby Lobby. Have fun!
