DIY Christmas Buffalo Plaid Wreath with Monogram

My wreath foam was homemade, I made it for my Rustic Christmas Wreath and you can find the tutorial to make one if you want to save some money!

Start wrapping the wreath foam with the light beige burlap ribbon and covered about 50% of it.

Secure the ends with a string of yarn or twine. I do it like this because I will be using the wreath foam and the burlap in the future so I don’t want to damage either of them.

Then wrap the other 50% with the Buffalo Plaid ribbon overlapping the burlap on both ends.

Secure the first end with a pin.

When you reach the other end cut the ribbon and pinned it in place making sure the tip went through the foam and on the back of your wreath.

The wreath base is ready!

So let’s set that the plaid ribbon part is the top of the wreath and the burlap is the bottom.

Now, take your Christmas tree springs, try to curve them a little bit to match the wreath shape.

Once you decide the perfect place, secure them with yarn or twine strings preferably the same color as the burlap.

Place 2 Springs on each side, one on top of the other but slightly displaced so it would look larger and fluffier.

The spring stems should meet and overlap right in the middle of the lower side of the wreath foam.

Also, secure the Springs in as many places as you need so they don’t fall or lose position when you hang the wreath.

When you are happy with your spring placing, insert among the spring branches a cranberry spring to add a pop of color.

Add one spring or more on each side. Secure with twine or yarn if necessary.

Then using your hot glue gun, secure a piece of thread or ribbon to the back of your wooden letter. You can use wood stapler too.

When the glue is completely cold and the ribbon secured, place the letter on top of the Spring stems right in the middle and tie a knot or a bow on the back of the wreath foam to secure the monogram.

If by any chance you notice the monogram slides towards the bottom of the wreath, just put it back in place and insert a pin on the back through the ribbon into the wreath foam.

There you go!

This step is completely optional, but I love greeting people so I almost always add something like this to my wreaths.

You can find wood signs like this at local craft stores or even on etsy or amazon.

Removed the hanging threads and use the holes to secure it onto the wreath foam.

Insert a long sewing pin (those with big ball heads) through the hole, then bent it slightly.

Once you decide where you want it just pin the sign pin vertically on the wreath so it will stay in place.

That’s it!

You can go ahead and hang it directly on your wreath hanger but I love making a ribbon a the top of the wreaths and hang them from there.

Make a cute ribbon bow.

Use another piece of ribbon to hang the wreath and attach the bow to the ribbon with pins making sure the ribbon stays on the top side of the wreath.

Hang it on your wreath hanger!!!!

Woohoo! Your pretty Christmas Buffalo Plaid Wreath diy is all ready to rock your front door.
