DIY Monogram Dish

What you need:
White plate, bowl, or dish
Acrylic paint
Sharpie
Modge Podge
Paint brushes
Painter's tape


I put painters tape around all four corners, 
put a coat of mode podge on and then began painting the center pink.

I used 20629 Raspberry

After about 4 coats I applied modge podge to seal the paint

After the modge podge was dry I drew my monogram with a silver metallic sharpie and then painted it in with Martha Stewarts Metallic Sterling Acrylic Paint
After it was dry I put ANOTHER layer of modge podge on

Finished Product

How cute! I don't know if I'm talented enough to hand draw my own monogram, though.

Oh my gosh! I'm in love with this! I need this on my nightstand stat! I think my dear friend Sarah should make me one for Vday. Don't you? But seriously...I want this but my free draw monogramming is definitely not up to par!

LOVE this! But there is no way I could draw or write anything on mine myself.

Emily said...

This is so cute! Did you use a template for your monogram or did you do it by hand? If you have a template please share - I've been looking for one! Awesome job. :)
