I originally saw the Moss covered monogram in my Pottery Barn catalog. I knew I wanted to try to do it but I didn't know how I would get the close shaved look of the moss. THEN I stumbled upon Two Twenty One and she taught me that there is such a thing as Moss Sheets. Her monograms turned out really cute (she's using her's for her wedding).
So I bought my "S" at Hobby Lobby for less than $2
Moss Sheet from Hobby Lobby
Hot Glue/Gun
traced my "S" with an extra 1/2 inch to glue onto the side and back on the letter.
Hot glued it on and the edges too.
Added a ribbon and hung it on my dining room hutch.
My Monogram "S" (mine, less than $5)
Pottery Barn's monogram "S" (theirs $79)
I think mine looks just as good.

I think I might just have to do that. I bought my monogram yesterday. Now for the moss!
CUTE. What a great idea! especially for these spring and summer months. Love it. That's going on my craft list!
OH MY GOSH!! I LOVE it. :) I might copy it for my house. Such a great idea!
Yours does look just as good! Super cute!
GREAT JOB!! I have been wanting to knock off those pottery barn ones for a while now and you've inspired me to get to it! Just popping over from the TT&J party :)
Love this! ...and way cuter than Pottery Barn's!
It looks fantastic! I love the ribbon that you added! Thanks for the linky love in your post! :)

Just have to say, yours is definatly cuter! more character & i like the moss on yours better.....very sweet! xoox, Tracie
Yours looks great! I love that you saved all that money and got something you wanted - way to go! I "followed" you from SITS!
Great idea! I have to share this with my daughter, she will love it.
Very clever, love it!I found you on SITS. I enjoyed my visit to your lovely blog. Wishing you happiness and a wonderful weekend. Hugs!
Hi, visiting from SITS. I love it, it looks just like the ones from PB. I had never heard of moss sheets either. That's what I love about blogging, I learn new things all the time.
LOVE IT!!! Yes...yours looks awesome and I really like where you have it displayed. I'm planning on making these for the church doors for my daughters July wedding.
Blessings,
Linda

I made a moss letter this weekend as well! I can't imagine paying the $79 price tag at Pottery Barn.
I recently did the same thing with this moss!
Great job!

Such a super idea, I'll have to try this myself!
I've got my supplies!! Now just one question... I've never used moss before. Does it start to smell after a while?
Because it is not alive there is no smell to the moss.
What a great project! Hi, my name is Melissa and I'm the managing editor for FaveCrafts.com. I was wondering if you'd be interested in allowing us to publish this project on our site. I have a newsletter of "knock off projects" coming up and I'd love to feature it! You can contact me at mconner@primecp.com for more information. Thanks and I look forward to hearing from you! Best, Melissa :)
