Here's a quick and easy DIY project perfect for your next shower or birthday celebration. The idea is from Molly of Lilly Cakes blog, and I'm so in love with it, I incorporated it into a Sweet 16 birthday I styled.
Here are the easy steps I followed to create the frame above(my own adaptation of her original instructions):
- Use the infamous Ikea frame above, or any other one will do. Remove the glass and cardboard backing, and spray paint the frame the color of your choosing.
- Using the glass insert as a template, cut out the shape from a large piece of foam core (I used one that is already blue), using a box cutter. Insert the foam core into the frame as you would the glass & cardboard backing.
- Choose your monogram letter from any craft store. Spray paint it your color of choice, and attach with hot glue to the foam core board.
You can hang this above your dessert table, in the entry way, or any other prominent spot in the party space. It is a great way to personalize the decor for the guest of honor!

What a fun project!
I'm doing something like this in my studio, only using black board paint and then putting the frame around it. :) Instant chic blackboard!

Ebony, I love that idea too!...Of course, I love any 'chalkboard' idea! ;)
Wow, I love this. While I like the monogram wall art I see in online stores, to me it always seemed like something you could easily do yourself. And this one is perfect, nicer than a lot of the ones I've seen sold!
Chris, Thanks so much for featuring my project! So happy you like it.
I love this!
What a great idea, thanks for sharing Chris! xo

super super cute!!
Love this project! Can't wait to give it a shot myself. I am moving this week & this would be a great project for my new apartment!!
I'm seeing this frame in a smaller version at Hobby Lobby. It comes in Pink or Black. :)
Great idea! When using this idea for a wedding, you can even create a lovely Victorian-inspired silhouette of the bride and groom!
