DIY: Monogram Letter

It's time to start thinking about Christmas gifts. I love giving homemade gifts, they're thoughtful and fun to create. These monogram letters are simple, easy, and pretty. They're perfect for friends and look great hanging in your bedroom. The rhinestones are a girly touch that you can omit if needed. Also, if you can't find individual rhinestones, the ones that are attached are fine too. Just cut them to size - it's better to have them be too short than too long and hanging over the edge of the letter. Be creative with the letters! Use fun paint and rhinestone colors. You can't go wrong with these.

What you need: 
  1. Wooden letter
  2. White paint
  3. Colored paint
  4. Individual rhinestones
  5. Ruler
  6. Pencil
Instructions

Start by painting the wooden letter white. Don't forget to paint the edges. You may have to do two or three coats to get the white to be opaque. Let dry. Stencil stripes onto the letter using a ruler. Make the stripes the thickness of the ruler. Paint every other stripe the color of your choosing. Let dry. Add rhinestones along the line in between white and your other color. This hides imperfections and is super cute!
