Popular Post heppnerguy Posted November 1, 2020 Popular Post Report Share Posted November 1, 2020 I have made one each for the married couples in our family. Somewhere around 30 of them. These will be going to the ones we exchange gifts with as well as those we do not. Everyone will know we are thinking about them this way. It isn't much but then the cost out of our pockets are minimal too. I am now in the process of making names for the grandkids and should finish them tomorrow.

spirithorse Posted November 2, 2020 Report Share Posted November 2, 2020 Well done, Dick, I guess I'm a little slow on this one because most of them look like first names rather than surnames. Maybe those are the ones you mentioned for the grandkids? God Bless! Spirithorse heppnerguy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Love the colors. Did you paint both sides. I bought the patterns off ETSY. They did not come out very well so I just wing it. I made these about 8 inches tall. I did not paint the back side of the letters because I thought they would glue better if I did not and besides they can not be seen anyway. I will post a copy of a letter here for you so you can see what I am talking about. At first I used Inkscape and made all the lines so they were cuttable and after doing a few, found the pattern making was too time consuming and I could wing them without a problem, so I just printed them out like they came and they were not that difficult to figure it out as I went along.

I thought it made it more personal that way. The grandkids are different then the adult ones I posted here. This was not even half of them.

Thanks for you questions and comments Dick heppnerguy I just noticed that you have a backer on them. I tried finding the patterns on ETSY but couldn't find them. Do you have the link to them.

barb.j.enders Posted November 12, 2020 Report Share Posted November 12, 2020 Quote I recently stumbled across this site too that has the split monogram. Haven't cut anything yet but it looks interesting. https://suncatcherstudio.com/monograms/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
