If you’re in love with the Lily Pulitzer, but don’t want to spend the money on cute monogrammed stuff, then you need to try these DIY monogram ideas. You can cheaply decorate your home with hand-painted monograms in your initials. The great thing about monogrammed items is that there is no question of who’s stuff it is. I live in a house with two other sisters and my mom. My sisters and I are about the same size, so my clothes mysteriously go missing from time to time. However, I noticed that the ones with my initials on it or my sorority letters are the items that get left behind. That’s why monogrammed stuff is becoming essential: a personalized touch makes greedy hands go away.
10 Cutest Monogram Ideas
I’ve been rooming with the same girl since my freshman year, so all ideas of “personal space” have gone out the door. Though starting out, we kept everything separate. We were the lucky ones who didn’t end up hating each other and didn’t have too many problems. Others, however, didn’t have as much luck. Labeling everything and getting stuff organized has become such a huge trend. Especially the DIY storage bins that can be used for literally everything. Monogramming initials has become such a cute way to personalize clothing and crafts.
Here are some direct quotes from our editors on their thoughts about monogramming:
“I love monogramming because it allows me to put a special touch on even the most generic accessories.”
“Monogramming is a way to personalize gifts for friends and family in a way that regular store-bought, generic gifts don’t.”
“My name is incredible and I want to show it off, but really though it’s a personal touch on any accessory. Monogram necklaces are a great gift, tote bags, and travel.”
I can’t wait to get started on the Newly Wed Plaque. My sister just got married, and I want to use a variation of it. The fun part about my new brother-in-law and my sister? They have the same initials. Both start with “L,” middle “E,” and obviously the same last name. The best thing about these easy crafts are that they can be applied and followed. You can put them on practically anything. Take the technique of the Paper and Monogrammed Stool and use it for a DIY kid’s table or a wooden plaque. The idea of monogramming is simple and not too different, but the techniques of applying and creating it vary from crafter to crafter.

This article had me at Lilly Pulitzer—monogramming is my new favorite thing! I especially love the Mod Podge Monogram. Mod Podge is so easy to use and this idea is simple and fun. Thanks so much!
I really love the combination of classic and preppy style with the monogram; it’s the perfect way for a Midwestern girl to capture that Ivy League/ East Coast feeling without breaking the bank. I feel like this blog is perfect for those high school seniors getting ready for college and dorm decorating!
Really creative! This is a great collection of amazing decoration ideas.
Very creative ideas. Nice collection. Thanks for sharing.
