How to Create a Monogram Lamp by Craft Cuts

Do want to create something beautiful and awesome? Well we've got the best project for you. Make you're home more brighter and beautiful with Monogram Lamps. Yes you can make a Monogram Lamp by following our instructions.


Creating an Monogram Lamp is very simple, all you need is some time and basics skills to make it properly. 

You can also customize it according to your own will. Just follow the instructions below.

Materials Needed:

Lamp, try to find one that has a smooth or waxy interior side of the shade.

Vinyl Monogram in black, 3″ for the smaller initials and 5″ for the center one. 

That way the sticky side of the vinyl will be on the face of the letters and therefore they will read correctly when being installed onto the inside of the lampshade. Chose the fonts Dorchester Script and Times New Roman Bold.


Gather Your Materials
Make sure you have a clean workplace as you don't want to get your lampshade dirty.



Remove the Lampshade
Remove the lampshade; mine comes off by simply unscrewing the finial.


Peel Off the Backing

Peel off the thick backing (it has grey grid lines on it) from the monogram. This will expose the sticky face of the letters.
Place Inside the Lampshade

Place the monogram, sticky side down, onto the inside of the lampshade. My shade has a seam in the back so it was easy to locate the front of the shade. Press the monogram firmly onto the surface.

What it Looks Like
Here is what it looks like from the inside with the masking removed.


Reattach the Lampshade to the Lamp
Reattach the lampshade to the lamp, turn it on and check out how it looks.


Off & On Side by Side
Here is how the lamp looks when turned off and when turned on.



Done!

Find a place for your new personalized lamp and enjoy!
