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…
I am loving all the monogram holiday wreaths that are popping up everywhere! So to spread a little holiday joy your way, I wanted to share an easy, festive and oh-so-fragrant DIY with you! 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. Don’t have rosemary in the backyard? No worries, you can find them at most home improvement stores or nurseries this time of year. Or, go get creative and try other greenery you have on hand. 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!
And…if you love rosemary as much as I do, check out my new favorite holiday hostess gift:
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. 🙂
Michelle @ Iron & Twine says
Lori, I’m with you on the power tools ~ lol! Anything to keep it simple 🙂
Anna says
This is gorgeously simple. I love this. Thank you for sharing- I have got to give it a try!
Alexis says
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?
Michelle @ Iron & Twine says
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 🙂
Carly says
Thanks Michelle, that’s wonderful. I can’t wait to get started on them!
