Inspired by Challenge: Mendi's Door Decor Project

Hello there!  It's Mendi here today with a Spring project inspired by the amazing Shellye McDaniel!  I was completely taken with her idea to cover an inexpensive wood monogrammed letter with washi tape!

Here's a peek of Shellye's amazing wreath that my design is based on (pinned HERE).  I fell in love with her idea immediately and for almost two years now I have been wanting to make one of my own.  I love how easily her design translates to any season depending on the washi tape used.  I chose to tie my letter to the back of the wreath using Doodle twine making it easy to switch out with the seasons.

I wanted to make some big bows to secure my banner in place, but truth be told, I'm not usually very good at making them.  I was tickled to discover a very easy tutorial (shared HERE) which helped me create them with very little effort.  For my smaller sized bows I used (36) 3" lengths of ribbon per bow which means you will need 3 yards of grosgrain and 3 yards of sheer ribbon to make two.

While I had my spring papers out, I created a coordinating chipboard banner using the darling papers and craft kit from the Easter Parade collection.

I kept it sweet and simple, but I can't help smiling when I see these adorable critters.  To connect the banner pieces together I created a loop with the same grosgrain ribbon, gluing them together in the back.  I then threaded a needle with some Doodle twine and sewed buttons onto the ribbon loops.

I hope I've inspired you to create some bright and cheerful projects for your home this Spring.  :)
