Creations, Monogrammed Frame Mat
This is just a simple white frame from Pottery Barn
DD asked me to jazz it up a little so she could gift it to a friend that just had twins
She showed me a font she liked
and some monogram ideas
and then practice, practice, practice until you are comfortable and confident
I used a gold paint pen, deciding that gold would show up better than silver
Added a little gold detail
and this simple little white frame
is now a personalized gift
Very simple, very quick, very easy~
Juicy Details
Look at fonts on Pinterest or buy a lettering book here and learn to write in different styles to gain confidence in adding hand letters to just about anything
You can buy a lined tablet for practicing, I picked this one up for Super Boy at the grocery store
check out Hobby Lobby’s frames, they are always 50% off
I used a Krylon gold leafing pen available on line here
If you chose a whimsical font, things don’t have to be so perfect, and you can adjust the letters as you go to make it fit in your space as on this chalkboard front box from Got Toddlers? here
Have fun!

Jenna this is perfection! I love it. I may pass this along to my daughter. She is very adept at lettering. Me? Not so much these days, but there was a time I would have jumped right in.:-)
This is a wonderful gift idea.
