Quick and Easy Monogram Frame

First of all - Happy Father's Day to all those Fathers out there! Especially to all the great fathers in my life!


Today I'm featuring an old craft of mine. Why? I didn't finish anything I wanted to this weekend and still have 3-4 half finished crafts that I need to just do! So instead I'm going to tell you about this fun little monogram frame.


I did this because this frame has a chip on the bottom left corner and I thought -well, if I screw it up, its ruined anyway. So I decided to pull colors and patterns from my bedroom and go from there!

Really this doesn't require a tutorial. I used old scrapbook paper and mod podge. I didn't use any kind of stencil, I drew a basic flower, cut it out of different patterns of paper, spaced it out and...that's about it. The monogram I stenciled onto cardstock and the scrapbook paper on the back was literally glued right onto the frame backing.

After it was all dry, I put the frame back and that was it!




Quick. Crazy easy. Free. These are the crafts I love the most. It goes perfectly in my bedroom among the other pictures on my dresser...now I just need to incorporate more purple in there!!
