Monogram

Here is my try on Monogram. I chose the letter K.

I started by cutting the letter K on a cardboard with the help of an outline template of K.

 

 Then, I stuck the egg shells all over the cardboard and allowed it to dry. 

Once everything got dried, I painted them.

Then I made a small flower with a waste grocery bag and attached it to the letter.

Trim the ends either angled for a spiked effect or rounded for a petal- like effect. Secure the centre with rubber band or a piece of thread.

Open each folded layer towards the centre until all the layers of the flower are done.

Fluff  the  layers. Do as many flowers as you need.

Now the  flowers are done.

For the Wreath:

Cut out the Circle from the cardboard. (app. 12 inches)

Cut out a small circle in the centre. (app.  6 inches)

Now the base for the wreath is ready.

Cover the entire circle cardboard with the flowers made.

We can use colourful beads , stones or even coloured pista shells  for decorating.
