Initially Yours...



Personalize your front door with your monogram, crafted from aluminum flashing.

Instructions:

Choose a font style you like. Use a photocopier to enlarge it to desired size. Using a fine marker, trace it onto the metal. Cut out the shape with scissors and bejewel the edges by studding with acrylic diamonds. Punch a hole with a paper punch or a nail. Insert the diamond and hot glue from the back of initial to secure it in place. To hang, nail punch two small holes with a finishing nail at top of the initial. Insert the wire and make a large loop so that the initial hangs in the right position on your door.
