After seeing personalized Clare Vivier clutches literally all over the internet, I came across this crafty monogram post and put a pin in it. Fast forward to present day when I finally got around to trying it out.

I snagged a faux leather wallet in a pretty lavender color from Target and figured it would be a great piece to DIY for a friend as a birthday present.

YOU’LL NEED:
– leather pouch/wallet
– fine paint brush
– gold paint
– X-acto knife
– cutting mat
I started out by printing out my monogram onto card stock paper. Using your X-act0 knife, cut out your monogram. Be sure to save the interior pieces too!

Hold or tape down the cutout card stock and carefully paint your stencil. Lift and do freehand touch ups as needed. After you complete, let it dry for a few hours.Pretty easy custom DIY, huh? Think you’ll give it a try? If you do, be sure to share your results with me!
