Burlap Monogrammed Wreath

Our front door needed a little pick-me-up, so I came across some easy wreath-making ideas on Pinterest that mashed together to personalize something for our home.
First, I started with the above materials: wreath form, wooden letter, scissors, marker, felt sheets, roll of teal chevron burlap (awesome Walmart find for less than $3!), hot glue gun, and circle templates
(pot lid & CD).
Snugly wrap the burlap around the wreath form, making sure to overlap the edges so the wreath form is completely covered.
Hot glue the end of the burlap down to the back of the wreath.
Next, start making the felt flowers by tracing and cutting out circles from the felt sheets.
Cut a spiral into the circle, starting from the edge and working your way to the middle.
Starting from the middle of the spiral, roll the felt around, tacking with glue every couple rolls, until you've rolled the entire spiral into a flower.
See how easy that was?  You can create different size flowers based on how big your circle is.
I decided to paint my wooden letter white, so I sprayed a coat of white as well as a coat of clear gloss to give it a more finished look.
Finally, arrange the letter and flowers on the wreath before hot gluing them down.
Be generous with the hot glue!
 
Ta da!  A little pop of color and personalization for less than $8  :)
