Personalized Gift: Monogram On Burlap Frame

I think you can all agree with me that nothing beats personalized gifts.  When I think of personalization, the first thing I think of is Monogram.  There is something about Monogram that is so elegant and just says it all without saying much at all.

I just finished making these two Monogram frames.  1 for my daughter Skylar and 1 for my nephew Zachary.  It was just an experiment with burlap and Monogram, but I thought they turned out pretty good.

By the way, this is the second project with burlap.

For Skylar's frame: I printed letter S in Word (font Bodoni) with my laser printer.  Then used scissors to cut out the S.  It wasn't perfect, but I don't think anyone could notice.

For Zac's frame: I developed a few black and white pictures.  Then used a circle cutter to cut 9 circles of the same size.  Finally I hot glued the circles onto the burlap background.
