Think Spring: Front Door Monogram Twine Sign

Valentine's Day is upon us, St. Patty's is up next, but I want to interrupt the regular scheduled programming with quite possibly the cutest and easiest project I have done.

A monogram front door sign like this is super easy and won't cost you much of anything aside from a couple   hot glue gun burns.

You will need:  wooden letter of your choice.  These range from .50-$1.00 or more depending on how large you want.  Found this one at Michael's.  Some jewelry hemp, or twine.  You can get colored twine which would also look great!  And then your choice (if you choose) of a flower, or whatever decoration you want to add, if you do.  I was going to make a Velcro attachment so mine was interchangeable for the season, but I ran out of Velcro, and simply made a general flower one.  Then, your choice of fun ribbon, and that trusty hot glue gun.




    As you work the twine or hemp around the letter, you will mostly always want to glue to the back.  The only exceptions I made was the edge of the front, in which I very carefully and delicately added just a dab of hot glue to keep the twine in a straight line around the sides.  And, there you have it!  Your own monogrammed front door sign!  Happy Spring (sooner than later please)!
Spread hot glue out flat as you work on the back.
