Fun and Easy Craft Idea

I am obsessed with anything monogrammed. My mom used to have a personalized gift & monogram shop and I have benefited from being able to use her monogram machine over the years. Sometimes I am in a rush and dont have time to go to her house and use her stuff, so I am always trying to think of ways to personalize things without using a sewing machine (since most of us dont have one) You should all try to make this coffee tumbler. It is so easy and people LOVE to get them as gifts. I have given them as teacher & school staff gifts over the past year and people freak out! Here are the easy steps.

Step 1: Purchase this "Create Your Own Tumbler" at Starbucks.

$10.95

Step 2: Select a piece of your favorite 12 x 12 scrapbook paper.

Cut one side of the paer so it is 8.5 x 12. Then use your WORD document to type the monogram initials you want. The layout will need to be set to landscape. Make the middle letter a much larger font that the 2 outside letters. For this paticular font I used a size of 120 for the center letter and 80 for the outside letters, but this will just depend on the font. Try several different fonts, since some look alot better in a monogram font than other. Make sure the monogram is in the center of the page and PRINT!

Step 3: Unscrew the bottom of your tumbler and take out the template. Place template in the center of your printed page and trace around the edges.

Step 4: Cut out along the traced edges and insert your new paper into the tumbler.

Here you go...the final product! TRY IT!
