Monogram Frame Tutorial!

August 15, 2011 19 Comments
Make sure you submit a question for me to answer on my first ever Vlog tomorrow!
My CPIC (Crafting Partner In Crime – Duh!), McKeever and I got together a few weeks ago and created these super cute Monogram Frames for our girl’s rooms!
I already had the frames stuffed in a closet…
so we pulled them out and put a few coats of Krylon Ballet Slipper on them!

While the frames were drying, we went inside and made these cute bows: 

After the frames were completely dry, we roughed the edges up with sandpaper.

Then we hot glued the bows onto the top-center of the frame.

Next we cut the girl’s initials using my Silhouette and then spray painted them green and applied it to hot pink fabric that we already cut to fit inside of the frame!
(Yes – I SPRAY PAINT vinyl)
(… it would be smart to iron the fabric before applying the vinyl… just sayin’)
Now Harper’s monogram is displayed cutely in her room!

Love it!

    I did something kind of like this in my little ones room, only instead of making the monogram, I used a dress that she had grown out of and cut out and framed the monogrammed part…easy peasy! :)
