Warmer weather is right around the corner and if you’re looking for a cute and totally chic piece to add to your spring decor, this Blooming Monogram DIY will be a sweet addition! We chose light pink roses, baby’s breath, and tiny white daisies, but feel free to mix and match different flowers for a unique and colorful display!
Materials
- Hot glue gun & glue sticks
- Scissors
- Fake flowers of your choice & color
- Can of white spray paint
- Paper mache letter
- X-Acto Knife
Directions
- Using the X-Acto knife, carefully cut the top of the paper mache letter off. Remove the cardboard filling so the letter is empty.
- In a well-ventilated area apply 2-3 coats of spray paint to the interior and exterior of the paper mache letter, letting each coat dry approximately one hour.
- Once the paint is dry, remove the flowers from their stems and cut any remaining stem pieces so the bottom of the flowers are flat.
- Apply a small glob of glue on the bottom of a flower and place the flower in the paper mache letter. Press and hold the flower down for 15-20 seconds to let the hot glue cool slightly. Repeat this step until your letter is filled with flowers!
- If you have empty spaces in your letter, you can fill them using individual petals, smaller flowers, or the leaves on the stems of the flowers. Just place them where you would like and apply small globs of hot glue to hold them in place.
- Let all of your hot glue dry completely and voila!
This blooming beauty will freshen up any space in your home! What type of flowers will you use?

I don’t understand what am I glueing the flowers to ?
Teresa, you are gluing the back of the flowers directly to the inside of the paper mache letter.
So so pretty! how did cut the inside again?
Skyler, we used an X-Acto knife for this project.
What type of fake flower did you use???
Emily, we just found a cluster of generic pink silk roses at our local Michael’s craft store.
Absolutely gorgeous

Great idea!
The Letter is so beautiful I was just looking because I teach children I should say I volunteer and it looks great to do different letters like yours. Congratulation I will try and make first and decorate the school with different letters. Thank you for sharing your work. Can I share it too,and thanks again.
I am in love with this DYI, how many inches is your letter? I have seen 12 inches and taller but I want the same that you used?
Thank you!
For the first 20 years of our marriage my husband gave me a silk rose on Valentine’s Day. I have all of these roses – different sizes and colors, and didn’t know what to do with them. I think this will be a good solution!
Would it be weird to glue rocks at the bottom (inside of the letter) and cover it with flowers to add weight so it can be a bookend
That’s so cute. It will look great in my room!
It is so pretty!!!
This is a very beautiful DIY, and I would like to make it for my mom on Mother’s day. Just wondering, where did you buy the paper mache letter?
where did you get that box letter? Great craft by the way!
Should I use a low heat hot glue gun or a high heat glue gun.
So nice! Where would I be able to find a paper mâché letter like that?
Where do i buy these letters in AUS?

These are so gorgeous with the pink roses. My question is how do you make this for a guy? I’d like to make 2 for our bedrm wall. Mine would be easy but what would you use for a man’s? Very interested and curious.
Thank you very much.
It really looks amazing, congratulations.
