Door Décor for Summer

Supplies and Tools:

• Around 15 faux flowers, such as hydrangeas, ranunculus, roses and peonies
• Moss ribbon
• Large paper mache monogram, letter of choice
• Hot glue gun and glue sticks

Directions:

1. To decorate the monogram, remove all of the flowers from the stems. Pull gently, and they should pop right off – no need to use scissors.
2. Place flowers in desired locations on monogram. Decide on placement before gluing them down. Then glue on, adding a generous dab of hot glue at the base of the flower. Go around monogram, filling in gaps, until it is all filled up except for the top.
3. Arrange the moss ribbon at the top of the monogram, so that it cradles the letter to hang. Glue it in place. Layer flowers over ribbon and finish filling in wreath.
