Using only a few materials this explosion of colour provides visual splendour for any little girl's bedroom. You could always create other words for other parts of the house too.
Beware, this seems like a quick project but took the longest to make of any we have created for this column. Filling the space without obscuring the letters was no easy feat, but with such an amazing result, it was definitely the most rewarding and it looks even better up on the wall!
Floral monogram You will need:
Papier mache letters for the name or word you want to make
Various artificial flowers (get more than you think you might need)
Hot glue gun
Roll of glue dots
We found all these supplies at Spotlight.
1. Prepare your workspace and lay out all your flowers, leaves and letters.
2. Most will slide easily off the 'branch' they are attached to.
3. Spend time swapping different pieces around until you get a balanced look. Enjoy the process!
4. Insert greenery to fill blank spaces.
5. For those with stems, use a skewer or knife to create holes to insert. This ensures a nice even height of flowers.
6. Use your hot glue gun to create new combinations of leaves and flowers.
7. Glue all remaining flowers to your letters.
8. Use glue dots on the back of the letters to fix to the wall.
Tip: Pull the strands of glue left behind from the flowers before hanging on the wall.
