Jute Monogram

I love jute! (So, why don't you marry it?) Let me tell you, if jute was a man, it would be oh-so popular, good-lookin, and hold things together. I saw these plain letters at Joann's a while back and immediately knew what I would do with them.


I also bought an "L" (all of the letters I needed for our monogram, as a matter of fact). And I began to wrap...


...and a few days later, I was still wrapping...


...and a WEEK later, I was still wrapping...


Yes, ladies and gentlemen, 1 week and 2 lifetime movies later, I had wrapped all my letters. While I love the clean, simple look of them plain, it was time to add some embellishments.





And the finished product; our monogram.

    Very cute, I love them! Did you have to run a bead of hot glue on all sides when wrapping the jute, or maybe just one side of a wrap? (Did that even make sense?!?) :)

    These turned out so cute. I love how the jute gives them extra dimension and your added baubles makes them special

    So cute! I made a moss monogram (http://yankeebellehome.blogspot.com/2010/02/moss-monograms.html) and now think I may need a jute one to go with it! Thanks for sharing.

    I love it! I have been known to take entire "Lifetime" days--I wonder what I could wrap in jute in a whole day of movies :) ? Love the button accents! Very creative!

    That looks fabulous! I like it better than burlap. I think it would be great in a teens room (or any kid), boy or girl, because it does look masculine. NICE!
