diy rosemary letter wreath
Happy holidaisical hoolah, everyone!
We’re so glad to have the fabulous Michelle from Iron & Twine back today, to share a fun project for the holidays. I am  in love with this project, and you will be, too. So without further ado…Â

I am loving all the monogram holiday wreaths that are popping up everywhere! Â So to spread a little holiday joy your way, I wanted to share an easy, festive and oh-so-fragrant DIY with you! Â Inspired, I decided to use items I had on hand to make my own; rosemary from our garden and hangers that we get from the dry cleaners. Â Don’t have rosemary in the backyard? Â No worries, you can find them at most home improvement stores or nurseries this time of year. Â Or, go get creative and try other greenery you have on hand. Â Here’s how I made ours:

 To hang my letters, I secured ornament hooks to the back, then attached each one to small nails tied with bows.

I also wanted to make a simple monogram.
A large S is now hanging from our kitchen cabinet.

I’m loving the fragrance that these bring into our kitchen, so whether your entertaining this holiday season, or needing a hostess gift for someone else, spread the joy with a personalized DIY Letter Wreath!

Wishing you all a very festive and joyful Holiday Season!!
Love love love this!! I have wanted to make some monogram wreaths but don’t want to get the power tools out. Now I’m off to find some wire hangers and pliers. 🙂
Lori, I’m with you on the power tools ~ lol! Anything to keep it simple 🙂
This is gorgeously simple. I love this. Thank you for sharing- I have got to give it a try!
You are a genius. Rosemary is my absolute favorite.
I bet this smells amazing!! It makes me kind of sad that I got rid of all our wire hangers when we replaced them- I used my last one to make a wand for my Hermione costume!!

Wow, looks amazing! Does rosemary last long, does it dry out nicely or go brown and fall apart?
Hi, Carly! We’ve had these wreaths a little over a week now, still green, but a little brittle. When drying Rosemary I typically have the best luck cutting the stems early in the day, then drying in a cool dark place away from direct sunlight. Depending on where & how it’s stored, I typically see the leaves turn brown around weeks 2-3. I’ve heard of people drying rosemary in the microwave to keep it’s color ~ just wouldn’t work for this project as they’d be too dry to then work with. So while these wreaths won’t last forever ~ I’d compare the lifespan to a good bouquet of flowers 🙂
Thanks Michelle, that’s wonderful. I can’t wait to get started on them!
This is a great monogram wreath idea and i’m sure it smells great!
