How to Make Monogrammed Roman Shades
1. Create your monogram online at Mark and Graham. Type in the letters that you will be using, and then choose from the large variety of monograms available. We used this one for Blinds-Dot-Com.
2. Tape your monogram to a cutting mat or protected surface.
3. Tape a piece of stencil paper on top of the monogram, and match it up to the monogram paper.
4. Cut around your monogram using an Exacto knife. Be careful with letters such as B or D that have a space in the middle. Make sure to leave a small area that you don’t cut so that the letter stays connected. See diagram below.
5. Tape the monogram to the surface you would like to apply it to. In this case we are using one of our Roman Shades.
6. Lightly trace the stencil with a pencil. This way if you make any mistakes you can erase them and perfect it later.
7. Remove the stencil and fill in the monogram with a fabric marker.
8. Wear/ Display/ Enjoy your monogram!
