DIY Button Monogram Letter

Grab buttons in different sizes. You can upcycle old buttons or buy thrifted or dollar store ones. I didn’t count to see how many buttons I started with but that will look different for you depending on what letter you choose to do and how big your canvas is. I used about 50 buttons for this project. Start by lightly drawing your letter onto the canvas. We are making the letter “S.”

Put a thin layer of glue over the drawn on letter. Use a tacky glue that dries clear. You can also sew the buttons onto the canvas but I’m not a fan of sewing (aka I have no idea what I’m doing) so I used glue.

Choose larger buttons to glue over the layer of glue. You will need to add glue to each button as well since the line of glue is not thick enough.

Once your letter is formed start gluing smaller buttons around the larger ones.

Next, start overlapping more buttons by gluing on top of the larger ones. I tried putting them where it looked like there were gaps.

Wait for the glue to dry.

Display your monogrammed letter as home or party decor. Lean it on a shelf, affix it to a wall or give it as a personalized gift.

This is a fun project that older kids (that are out of the button eating stage) enjoy. And best of all you can make multiple letters in different colors!

I found these cute whale dishes at the dollar store and I thought they would make the perfect gift for a friend and her daughter, they’re just the right size for trinkets or jewelry. I wanted to add a little extra touch by personalizing the trinket dishes using my Cricut machine. So far I’ve only made these personalized wedding gift mugs using my Cricut but the gift ideas are endless!

Personalized Trinket Dishes using the Cricut Maker

Start by measuring your trinket dishes.

Next, open Cricut Design Space app and start a new project. Insert the font option and choose your font. Enter your names and adjust the size to fit your trinket dishes.

Next go to “Make it” and select with mat option (If you’re using Smart vinyl you will not need to use a mat). Then select your material. I used permanent glossy from the Brights sampler.

Connect to your Cricut machine and load your Cricut mat when prompted.

Once the names are cut, unload the machine and cut out the vinyl. Weed the excess vinyl around the cut letters.

Cut a piece of transfer tape and place it over the names. Peel away from the backing.

Next position the transfer tape with a name over a trinket dish, pressing down and carefully peeling the transfer tape so that the name is left on the dish.

Add the name to the second trinket dish.

These personalized trinket dishes are so simple to make and they make the sweetest mother-daughter gift!

They’re the perfect size for trinkets, jewelry or just use them as part of your home decor.

• 2 large mugs

Personalized Wedding Gift Using The Cricut Maker

Wash the mugs and make sure they are dry. Start by opening the Cricut Design Space app and starting a new project. Insert the font option and choose your font. I went to system and chose DancingScript-Bold. Enter your text.

Adjust the sizing that will fit your mugs. I adjusted to 3″ x 1.5″. Next go to “Make it” and select without mat (If you’re not using Smart vinyl you will need to use a mat). And select your material.

Connect to your Cricut machine and load your vinyl when prompted.

Press the start button when you are ready! Once the words are cut, unload the machine and cut out the vinyl. Weed the excess vinyl around the cut letters.

Cut a piece of transfer tape and place it over the words. Remove the backing.

Next position the transfer tape over the mug, press down and carefully peel the transfer tape so that the words are left on the mug.

Add the words to both mugs and you’re done! You can even make it extra special by adding names to the other side. I love how these turned out. You can also add a layer of Mod Podge dishwasher sealer ontop of the vinyl letters so that the mugs can be placed in a dishwasher, otherwise they will need to be washed by hand.

Now all you have to do is wrap and gift it.
