Framed Moss Monogram {Tutorial}

I'm sure by now everyone has Spring fever! Down here in the South, last week's pollen was incredibly thick and everything was a bright green color. Then came a much needed heavy downpour that really helped to wash everything off. My azaleas are blooming, the trees are all a beautiful bright green and some people have already had to mow their grass. Ours will need it by the weekend. With all this warm, Spring weather down here, I have been trying to find ways to bring the green indoors without the pollen. I found some inspiration and thought I'd share it with you.

 Pottery Barn has these Live Moss Letters for $79/each.

Or you could do what I did and make your own for less than $10/each. Here's how:

 Now, hot glue small sections at a time and wrap the moss around each edge. Cut off any excess.

I decided to take an 11x14 frame that I already had and wrap linen fabric around the glass and back, putting it back in the frame and then "hanging" my "M" from the top with black and white striped ribbon. I did put dots of hot glue on the back to secure the ribbon and some of the linen. I love how this turned out! Now, I am just trying to decide where I want to hang this. I might do a monogram wall. Stay tuned!

I'm sharing this with some of these parties.
