Monogrammed Plates

Here is one of my projects. I found it here while I was blog hopping. I thought that it was a cute idea and wanted to give it a try. Click the link and it will give you a tutorial.

It was a fairly inexpensive project. I found the glass plates at Target for $2 each. My sister has since found me some plates at DI for .50. They are a little smaller, but in great condition.

I found my fabric and mod podge at Walmart. I bought 1 yard of fabric, which should do about 6 to 8 plates. I don't know yet. The fabric was $1.44.


The tutuorial on the link shows how easy it is.

The hardest thing for me was picking out the letter font. I did not freehand mine, I printed it off the computer, cut it out, then used that for a stencil on my scrapbook paper.

I also made another one, but I outlined the outside edge of my paper with a black sharpie--I thought that it made it look better--made the letter pop out more rather than blend.

Here is my finished project:

Let me know if you decide to make this, and what you think.

These are going to be used to deliver some Christmas cheer to my friends.
