A farmhouse monogram is a simple DIY project that adds rustic charm to your decor.
Welcome back to another month of Create With Me! Last month, I used an embroidery hoop to make this cute and stylish DIY Embroidery Hoop Wreath. You can see the full post, HERE. This month you chose picture frames for our blogger team to create with. The possibilities were endless, but I decided to show you just how I made this cute farmhouse monogram wall decoration for my home office. I combined the look of barn wood, burlap, and paint to create a one-of-a-kind Monogram that makes a cute wall hanging. Farmhouse style is abundant in this project and you will find it an extremely easy DIY project.
How to Make a Farmhouse Monogram Wall Decoration

To do this project, I gathered these supplies:
paint brush
cardboard
household stapler
Barn wood frame or frame without glass
[easy-image-collage id=17545]
- First, I painted the letter D with craft paint.
- Next, I found a piece of random cardboard, cut it to size, wrapped it in burlap and stapled it with a household stapler.
- Hot glue the letter onto the center of the burlap.
- Take your empty frame and staple the cardboard to the frame. For this stapling, a household stapler was not enough to get through to the wood, so a staple gun worked better.
- Here is the finished product. I love how it turned out! It’s a beautiful addition to my chalkboard wall gallery in my office. You can see the full One Room Challenge Home Office reveal, HERE.
See that Book page flower? That’s also another fun and inexpensive DIY craft I did for this wall gallery. The full Book Page Flower tutorial is HERE.

If you like the sort of recommendation that still holds up six months later, leave your email below and I'll write to you on Sunday.
Most Sundays, once the house has gone quiet and it's edging towards nine, a letter goes out. It's the one I'd write to a friend with good taste and not nearly enough time: one thing worth reading, one thing worth buying, and one thing to skip. No noise, no pressure to spend, just the considered version of what I've actually been using, loving, or quietly sending back.

I just adore that reclaimed wood frame! Beautiful addition to your “D” gallery wall. Hobby Lobby has some wonderful stuff!

Thank you Audra! My husband wants me to stay out of Hobby Lobby. It’s dangerous!

[…] Using the initial from our last name, I sought out a mix of monogram letters to add. Wood, metal, and even burlap letters add a mix of different styles and textures. I even made a rustic wood framed letter with a barn wood frame. You can see the full tutorial for it here. […]

This is a very cute idea. I love the letter sign and how easy it looks to make however I just saw that beautiful book page flower next to it and now I want to make that too. Thanks for sharing these ideas with us.
