Make this Monogram Fall Wreath to welcome guests to your home through the Fall season.
Who’s ready to create Fall decor? I’m not decorating for a few more weeks but I’m gathering supplies and ideas. Who else is excited to pull out warm colors, cozy textures, pumpkins, and leaves? I know it’s trendy to love Fall but it really is my favorite season and always has been.
The round wood monogram was an impulse purchase a few months ago so I decided to use it for this project. There’s something refreshing and welcoming about crisp leaves and a pretty monogram on the front door. I hope this Monogram Fall Wreath will welcome many visitors this Fall season.

Supplies needed for the Monogram Fall Wreath:
leaves wreath
round monogram (Michael’s)
metallic paint – old gold (DecoArt Americana Decor)
natural jute twine
ribbon
hot glue
Purchase a leaf wreath or make your own using a twig wreath and artificial leaves. I made this wreath several years ago and it’s held up pretty well. Use a leaf garland or hot glue leaves to the wreath until you have the fullness you like.
It isn’t necessary to paint the whole monogram since the initial area will be covered with jute. I painted it on the chance you could see between some of the jute. Brush on 2 coats of paint to the round area and only one coat of paint to the letter area.
Let it dry completely before wrapping the jute around the letter. Metallic paint takes a little longer to dry so take that into consideration if you’re in a hurry. All letters are shaped differently so plan out how you want to wrap the letter before you start. I had decided to wrap the top and bottom of the J first then have the center overlap the ends. It would be just as pretty the other way around.
Hot glue the jute to the back of the monogram. Secure the jute in several places, especially on curved areas. Always glue on the back or side of the monogram so it doesn’t show on the front.
Since the center of the J is straight I only secured it with glue every 10-15 wraps. That made that area go a lot quicker.
Wrapping can take a while so put on your favorite movie or podcast while you do this part.
I love the colors, design and thickness of this ribbon. It’s perfect for a Fall wreath. Lay the monogram on top of the wreath and join them with the ribbon. Since they’re not permanently together they can be taken apart and used separately whenever you want. You can add a couple dots of hot glue to the back of the monogram if you want it more secure.
Tie the ribbon in a bow to hang the wreath from. I need to find other uses for this beautiful ribbon, I love it!
It’s hard to see the metallic paint in the photos but it looks great in person. The different textures of the metallic paint, jute, leaves, and ribbon look beautiful together.
What’s your favorite Fall color? I really like gold this year.

That ribbon is lovely – gold is pretty classic. I will probably stay away from the oranges and reds this year and stick to golds and whites and browns – maybe a touch of blue. So pretty!
