Well, it's been a little while since Pin Week and I figured it was about time for another 'pin'torial.
I had a wooden letter laying around my craft room and some pretty paper left over from this project that I knew I had to put to work. And so, this tutorial came to be.
Wanna make a monogram pin of your own?
HERE'S THE HOW TO:
Stuff you'll need:

Decorative paper
Scissors
Decoupage adhesive
Wooden letter (Look in the woodworking section of your craft store. I chose a 'P' for my last name.)
Paint (I chose a shimmery neutral, but a bright, bold color would be a lot of fun as well.)
Paintbrush
Pin
Superglue
Method:
1. Paint your letter.

2. Trace your letter onto the paper.

3. Cut the letter out of the paper along the outline you drew.

4. Glue the paper cutout to the wooden letter with the decoupage adhesive.


5. Glue the pin to the back of the letter with superglue.

Ta-da! Now you have your very own monogram pin.

If you liked this tutorial, be sure to check out the striped anchor pin, glitter heart pin and floral pin tutorials as well.
Here's to a great week ahead guys!

I love the floral fabric. Where did you get it?
ReplyDeleteHi Jenna! I covered the letter with scrapbook paper I got at the craft store. There are lots of patterns to choose from, so the possibilities are endless.
DeleteVery cute! I just adore your tutorial photos... they are a work of art themselves!
ReplyDeletethis would be SO cute as a little banner. i wanna make one that says 'katherine & teemo' - really adorable. you could use ponoko to laser cut your own letters too.

ReplyDeleteI'm on a brooch kick of late and this is so cute! And I had to double check b/c I knew your name was Erica, lol. Does your last name start with a P?

Hi Erica! I love this idea and all the million things you could use it for! Awesome. And adorable fabric, of course. :)
ReplyDeleteFreakin' adorable! Love the pretty floral pattern!
ReplyDeleteOh, Erica, you and your great DIYs! :)
ReplyDeletedid you made the letter or did you buy it? I'd like to do that with the word LOVE and put on my bookshelf! Normally people paint one color, but the cute fabric looks way better!
Glad you like this DIY :)
