A few weeks ago, I came across this post and knew I had to try it for myself. I started at da font and found a decorative M. I enlarged it in Word and got ready to print it. That is when I realized that my children had used every single piece of printer paper I had (they love to draw). So, I found some old ivory resume paper hiding in a filing cabinet and used that. I bought a silver frame at Wal-mart for $3.
I realized that the mat was ivory too.
That won't work. So, being the impatient girl that I am, I decided I'd paint the mat with craft paint.
Then I painted the frame black. Again, my imptience took over so the paint job is not the best. I'll probably have to sand down a few spots and repaint. But, here's the finished product.
Sorry about the fingerprints on the glass. I need to clean those.
See the piece of furniture my new "M" is sitting on? That's my next project.

Oh I LOVE it! Now I want one. And I've painted mats countless times. Beats buying a new one when you need to change things up.
ReplyDeleteLOVE IT! I never would have thought of using my computer to make a monogrammed item. Thanks!
