How To Design Your Own Monogram In Microsoft Word
You can use monograms for various projects such as save-the-date magnets, invitations, small favors, etc that would vary in size. When you design your monogram in Word, you can easily change its size and your monogram will stay true to its proportions. Although there are a variety of computer programs you can use to make a monogram, I decided to figure out something on Microsoft Word because that's the program I am most familiar with.

1. First, draw a big text box. This is where your new last name initial will go.





2. Insert your new last name initial and experiment with different fonts to find one you like. You'll need to increase the font size...I suggest starting somewhere in the 180 to 200 range. It is important to keep the monogram big while you're creating it to get a clean, crisp look when you change the dimensions for later projects.





3. Next, play around with different colors. Our main color for the wedding is lilac/lavender so I tried to keep all the colors in that family. Since I plan to write our names and date on top of the initial, I choose to go with a very light color purple for the "B."





4. The next step is to insert the names. Do this by adding two more text boxes. Again, play around with different fonts and colors for each name as well as where you'd like to place them on the monogram. I went for a much darker purple because I wanted the names to stand out above anything else.





It is normal for the text box to have a line drawn around the border of the text box as well as to have all the empty space in the box filled in white. To get rid of the border around the name, simple right click on the text box and select "Format Text Box." You'll get the "Format Text Box" Pop Up.



Go to your first option (Fill) and select "No Color." This will get rid of the white background that prevents you from seeing the big initial.



Next, go to the second option (Line) and select "No Color." This will get rid of the border around the name.



Click "Ok" and the fill and line should be gone from your name text box.





5. After inserting the first name, make a new text box and follow the steps above to create the second name. Make any little tweaks to the font and color for the names. It was at this point I decided to put the names in bold.

6. Then, you'll want to insert your "and" sign. Again, insert a text box, play around the font, color, and placement to find which one looks best. Remove the border and fill following the instructions above.





7. If you choose, you can insert your date. We chose to insert the date below the "B," but the possibilities are endless. To add the date, insert another text box, play around the font, color, and placement to find which one looks best. Remove the border and fill following the instructions above.





8. Add any more details you'd like to the monogram. We decided to add butterflies because we have a very subtle butterfly theme for the wedding. I was able to get the butterfly through a font (Butterfly Heaven; letters "B" and "b") I had previously downloaded. Simply insert another text box, select your font, select your color, remove the border, remove the fill, and play around with the placement of where you'd like to place your detail(s).





9. I decided I wanted a chocolate brown border around the whole monogram, but didn't like the placement of the original border of the first text box (around the "B"). All you do is remove the border around the giant initial you began with following the directions above through the "Format Text Box" option.





10. Then, simply draw another text box in the height and width you like that will encompass all the details of your monogram by holding down your mouse button. When you release the mouse button, it'll look like your monogram has disappeared, but it's still there. Simply right click, select the "Format Text Box" option and select the "No Color" for the "Fill" option.





10. If you don't want a border, select "No Color" for the "Line" option from the "Format Text Box" options. However, if you'd like a border, you can change the border's color in the "Line" option. Simply select whichever color you'd like for the border to be and click "Ok" to select your options. You can also make your border thicker by choosing a higher number under the "Weight" option.



Now you have your monogram. It's in an editable format and I suggest saving it in this way in case you'll need to make little tweeks later.




--------------------------------------------------------------------------------



1. Now that you have your monogram, take a screenshot (on my computer it's "Control" and "Print Screen" held at the same time). Essentially, you've just taken a picture of what's on your screen sp make sure that all of your monogram is in full view.

2. Next open up the Paintbrush program from your computer start up menu. It's a program that comes with most computers.





3. Select the "Paste" option from the "Edit" menu. Now you should see your monogram and the rest of the "Word" screen copied onto the white area.





4. Select the rectangular "Select" button from the menu. It looks like a box with dashed lines. Now draw your rectangle around your monogram.





5. Copy your mongram by right clicking and select "Copy" from the menu.





6. Go back to Word and paste what you just copied. Now you have a copy of your monogram. You can easily change its size in Word without losing its proportions by clicking on a corner of the monogram and moving it while holding down the mouse button.

On all box lids, except the top tier. Cut a hole 1/4 smaller than the box that will sit on top.(
Roll fabric along outer edge as shown
Roll fabric along and use glue gun every so often to ensure it stays tightly on the box. (be careful with the amount of glue on thin fabrics as glue may show through)
fold over the outer edge and glue down so your edge is finished.
Now that your sides are covered you must glue down your top edges

DIY Card Box
( This is not my box these are the driections i followed ) I will post my card box up soon )

Supplies Needed:

1.Fabric
2.Round boxes (can be found at Jo Ann's sold in set of 3)
3.Ribbon
4.Pearls
5.Glue Gun
6.Box Cutter
First start by covering your boxes with the fabric:

Roll fabric along outer edge as shown

Roll fabric along and use glue gun every so often to ensure it stays tightly on the box. (be careful with the amount of glue on thin fabrics as glue may show through)



Once you reach the other end of the box fold over the outer edge and glue down so your edge is finished.



Now that your sides are covered you must glue down your top edges. Slit the edges so they will easily fold down into the box. Glue down each piece tightly.





BOX Lids:

On all box lids, except the top tier. Cut a hole 1/4" smaller than the box that will sit on top.(allows cards to drop :)

Top Tier Box Lid:

Cut a slit with box cutter the width of an average size card.

Boxes:

On all boxes except the largest box. Cut a hole 1/4" smaller than the box that will sit on top.

Once lids have holes cut out cover with fabric the same as you have done your boxes. For the top tier lid you will need to cover the top completely with fabric since it will have the slit and be shown. To finish off your card slit...iron separate fabric pieces under to have finished looking edges... glue on the inside so they flap over covering the raw edges.



To perfect the lids outer rim glue a ribbon around to cover and leave a more finished look.

Add pearl or rhinestone details & glue ribbons vertically for the traditional box hat look.

DIY: Swarovski Monogrammed Cake Topper
I wanted a monogrammed cake topper covered in crystals. So I purchased the initials and Swarovski crystals . It turned out better than I thought and I'm glad I didn't purchase the pre-made ones.

I ordered the letter (Silver Acrylic Mirror) from weddingcuts.com

Note: you should consider the width of the top layer of your cake before deciding on the size of your letters. You don’t want to have your caketopper be wider than your cake.Total cost including shipping $35.50.

The crystals, glue, tweezers and mat were ordered from tamisplace.com They offered free shipping which made them cheaper than other places.
There are a range of sizes but I ordered them in sizes 20ss and 16ss only. Just remember: the smaller the crystals, the less space they take and the longer you’ll be sitting there gluing each one on.


It took a few crystals to get the hang of it and not get glue everywhere. But it was easy to do after awhile. Warning: This was an extremely long and monotonous task. It took me a long 7 hrs to sit there and glue each individual crytal on. I nearly killed my eyes and back trying to get this done in one sitting. The things that a bride does for her big day

* When you initally receive your caketopper, don’t be disappointed with how plain it looks. Once you cover the crap out of it with the crystals, it’ll look damn magnificant! *
