Did Pottery Barn Knock off My Pretties?

I was flipping through the Pottery Barn catalog when I saw these moss covered monogram letters.

Hold up now Pottery Barn. Pump your breaks! I made one of these over a year ago for my wedding decor.

And mine is better. Exhibit A. Mine doesn't carry an $80.00 price tag. It cost about $10.00 to make. Exhibit B. Mine will last forever. Exhibit C. I'm awesome. Okay, well, maybe that one is a draw, but still, if you are drooling over these, just make them.

I started with one of those gold leaf letters from Hobby Lobby like this ($5.00).


And also a package of reindeer moss.


Just start hot gluing it until the letter is covered and hang with a pretty ribbon.
