I made this for my (brand new!) niece’s nursery that has a vintage floral theme with a touch of boho. We didn’t want anything too frou-frou, so we thought some small florals mixed with a simple frame would look perfect over the crib.
These letters can be used for any decoration — wedding, bridal shower, birthday celebration, bedroom decor, front door decor, etc. Use them to make a 3 letter monogram, use smaller letters to spell a full name, use as wall decor in a younger child’s room — the versatility and the fact that you can reuse them are worth the time spent making them!
The best part about this project was selecting the floral picks that would match the nursery decor. I enjoyed it so much so that I sat myself in the middle of the aisle at Joann’s, square in the floor in front of the clearance floral bin, and picked through hundreds of stems to select just the right ones. I have no shame.
I recommend choosing picks with smaller leaves and buds so that it doesn’t overwhelm the shape of the letter. Choose some greenery ‘filler’ picks, some smaller accent flowers, and a few ‘statement’ flowers.
