monochrome monogram : here's how

it’s no secret that i love all things monogram – journals, clothes, accessories, EVERYTHING.  this past weekend i took that love to the wall and made this pinterest inspired pretty.  it will look fantastic in our bedroom (someday) and the best part was is cost me a whole $10 to make and about 30 minutes of my time.  want to know how? read on.


supplies:

wood monogram (no more than half an inch thick)
blank canvas
acrylic paint
foam brush
spray adhesive

step 1) order a wood monogram.  mine was a gift therefore it cost zero dollars – can’t be that.  you can order one similar here just be sure not to order a monogram that is thicker than half an inch or it may not adhere to the canvas.
step 2) paint the monogram and the canvas.  here’s where you can get creative but, i personally liked the white-on-white.
step 3) measure your canvas and create guides for placing the monogram.  i wanted mine more toward the top but, in the middle.
step 4) spray the adhesive until tacky using several thin coats then let dry about 20 seconds.
step 5) adhere to the canvas and let try.

that’s it!
