Winter Welcome Wreath

This Welcome Wreath is a makeover of the Monogram Christmas Wreath I did a few Christmas’s ago. I started by carefully tearing everything off the grapevine wreath.

Then, using Mod Podge, I changed the “W” to black glitter.

I pulled the red and green buttons off the no-sew muslin flowers (you can find the tute for these here) and then hot glued on large black buttons and small black and white damask print buttons onto two of those. Then I hot glued the “W” and flowers back on the wreath.

Then I had this little canvas bag from a grab box from Pick Your Plum. I simply cut the bag part off and used the flap as a banner. I stenciled “Welcome” onto it with black fabric paint using the Martha Stewart Adhesive stencils (love these things!).

Then I hot glued it on as well as a simple black bow at the tip. Now I just have to decide whether I like it best on the white brick of the back porch or the front door…
