{Pottery Barn-Inspired} Moss Monogram

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.

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.

Such a super idea, I'll have to try this myself!

Kristy said... 39 40

I've got my supplies!! Now just one question... I've never used moss before. Does it start to smell after a while?

Camilla said... 41 42

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 :)
