What the H? vinyl monogrammed plate

Monogramming is apparently the “in” thing right now, and I have fallen for it hook, line, and sinker!

Here are a few monogrammed items that I’ve recently completed.


(Click the image to see the original post.)

I’m still in love with these!

Well, I’ve done it again! I’ve made yet another monogrammed home decor item.

I just can’t help myself! They are way too stinkin’ cauute!!

Okay, so I’ve seen plates with monograms all over blog-land. In fact, *I* had the idea FIRST, but there are lots of bloggers who apparently have ESP, because before I could get my vinyl in the mail I started seeing monogrammed plates popping up everywhere! But just so we’re clear, they read my mind and they copied me!

😉

I bought an H to match my other H projects. Did you notice it’s black this time instead of white?

DSCN0403

It’s nice having an H last name because now I get to make all sorts of inappropriate comments and it’s totally legit!
What the H?! Fo’ shizzle!

So next I took my Big H and found the center and marked it with an X. Then in all my Type-A, anal retentive, OCD glory I used a ruler just to make sure it wasn’t even a millimeter off center.

DSCN0411

Did I mention yet that I’m sticking it to a plate? I’m sticking it to a white dollar store ceramic plate.

DSCN0414

Rub on, peel off. Just gorgeous!!

DSCN0415

BIG H, little h. What begins with H?? Hungry Horse. Hay. Hen in a hat. Hooray! Hooray!

DSCN0422

So next I used a Dischanger to hang it up. Sure beats those awful metal plate hangers!

DSCN0535

I can think of all sorts of things H can stand for. House. Hepworths. Homebody. Helvetica. Hook ’em Horns.

DSCN0526

I decided to hang it up in the worst lit spot in my entire apartment – right between the fireplace and our TV. Sure makes for great pictures when you have really crappy lighting.

DSCN0532

It was so easy and cheap to make, but I just really love it!

DSCN0527

How in the H? Have I used that line enough yet? I can’t wait to do a monogram of my first name. “A” has all sorts of great jokes I can make!

Considering I’m totally obsessed with monogramming, and I’ve only done H so far, expect lots of monogrammed stuff in the near future. I’ve already got the next monogrammed item almost finished and I can’t wait to show you!

Peace out.

    In the South, we LOVE anything monogrammed…towels, bedding, glasses!
    Lots of fun and a great way to work with kids on their alphabet, too! Rory

    Ohh, love it! It looks so classy, and actually fits in that spot perfectly! My last name started with an M… which is nice, because I’ve noticed all the PB items in the catalog have that initial on them, too. Not that I’ve ever ordered anything from them, really, but if I did it’d be nice to know exactly what I’d be getting! 🙂 Can’t wait to see your other monogram projects – I love monograms!

    Oh I love it! I was hoping you found some fabulous way to add a monogram to a plate that you can use … but I suppose you’d need some serious equipement for that (like a kiln?) I love anything personalized! Even have a whole post dedicated to it … including personalized china … melts my heart!

    Love the plate. And yes, I loved the knife block too!

    Two suggestions: 1) I think this plate would make a great place to set your keys when you come in, as opposed to a wall plate. (Although I must say I LOVE the dischangers link!) 2) You may want to check out this monogrammed mouse pad. I think it was on the My Romantic Home Blog on her Friday link party. She made her own monogram but you could buy it too.

    Love the monograms! My last name begins with “H” too so I especially love your projects!

    Well, I’m always behind the power curve. I really don’t have anything monogrammed! Isn’t that just sad? And we have the same initials! hmmmm, in case you run out of places to put yours you can send them my way! I like the font you are using too!

    Hi
    This is super cute!! I’m new to vinyl, where do you buy it? Do I have to have a Cricut to do this? Can you buy just letters? What’s the least expensive way? Your blog is great, keep up the good work! 😀
