It’s a new week, and that means it is time for a new craft project. Today I want to share this monogrammed plate. Debbie Saenz, one of Plaid’s talented designers created this plate. I for one love monogrammed anything. I just feel using a monogram gives a special personalized touch to the most basic items. You can monogram anything you like. A plate, a rug, a mug, you get the idea. This plate is very elegant, and while it may look hard to make, it’s just the opposite. This is not the best craft for the craft newbie, but as long as you have a little experience under your belt you’ll be fine. This project will take an hour to an hour and a half to create. For a list of supplies and instructions, see below.
