DIY Monogram Clutches

Today our guest blogger is Aimee Santos from Swellmayde, one of the best DIY style blogs we know.

I’ve always been a fan of the monogram.  It’s a great way to give items in your home and wardrobe a personal flair.  Here, I teach you how to add your initial to a pouch in a fun and colorful way.  It becomes the perfect accessory for the Spring season!

Materials:

• faux leather/ leather pouch or clutch
• letter stencils
• acrylic paint
• paintbrush
• masking tape

Steps:

1.  Using masking tape, block off sections of the pouch that you would like to paint.  Securely press the tape onto the pouch to ensure a defined line.

2. Paint the taped section of the pouch.  Once dry, pull the tape off slowly.

3. Center the letter stencil onto the pouch.  Then, paint inside the stencil. Let dry fully.

4. Fill with all your favorite things.
