My First Official Project Post!!







I am so excited to post my first Fabulous, frugal project. I am really into large monograms to decorate my home and office and almost fainted when My fave hangout-Hobby Lobby had them for 50% off. So I paid a whole 99 cents for each one. I used scrapbooking supplies I had at home-paper, acrylic paint, ribbons, flowers and I must have Bling!! I traced the letters onto the paper with the paper facedown and the letter face down. I cut it out inside the lines to achieve a clean look around the edges. Before applying the paper to the letters, I painted the edges of the monogram letters with acrylic paint. Then, using my newest Obsession- Mod Podge- I applied the paper to the letters. I applied four coats of the Mod Podge , attached ribbons, flowers, and Bling to make it extra Fab!! And there you have it. I love finding uses for supplies I have on hand and right now this is my absolute obsession. Everyone in my family is getting a Monogram as soon as Hobby Lobby has another sale.!! I will try to remember to take before and after pics! I did manage to get an "in progress" of the M. Everyone Enjoy and tell me what you think.
