Have you wanted a
monogrammed aisle runner but cannot afford the pricey options? Here is a
great way to create your own monogram in under $5.00. Add some time and
patience and you will achieve rewarding results.
1.
Create your monogram template using ClipArt, Microsoft Word, Paint,
Powerpoint or whatever program you are comfortable with. This is what I
designed for the couple.

2. Enlarge the picture (or enlarge portions of it) to
fit the aisle runner. Cut and tape the template pieces onto a flat
surface. Place the aisle runner on top of the template pieces and tape
the runner in place once you are satisfied.
3. Carefully paint over template using fabric paint and a fine tipped craft brush (I purchased the fabric paint from Michaels
for $1.00 or so each and the craft brushes are my own). Start with the
lighter colors to minimize bleeding when you paint the darker colors.
4. Because of time constraints, I painted the letter "K" using free hand.
5. To make the perfect circles, I used a cooking pot and lid.
6. DONE!!! Let air dry and fix colors following instructions on fabric paint container.
