Separate the flowers from stem. Cut the stems as close as possible. This is done to ensure that the flowers stay flat on the letters

Now take your glue gun and start pasting your flowers

I pasted the bigger flowers first, then placed the smaller flowers in the gaps. This is how it looks like now

Do the same for the other letter. Or skip if you are going to do only one letter

Since I am in a rented house, I can’t have nails on my walls :(
So I chose washi tapes to support my monogram. The best thing about washi tapes, is that you can use it like a normal tape and it will not damage your walls while peeling off ! Isn’t that a great factor for those living in rented house?

So here is the final pic on my wall – I know the edges aren’t good, as washi tapes are visible outside the letters, but it still looks pretty!

This DIY took me only less than an hour (including rests in between).

Snip off the the remaining and tie a knot. It should look like a bow.
Now, a small change, make sure you have 2 strands after tying the know as shown below! We will be tying this to a thread for the garland

Start trimming, and keep rotating it like a ball to get loose ends and cut them. Trim them so that they appear like a pom pom.
