Choosing the E in Microsoft Word
Cutting the E out into a more workable size of paper. Then you use the exacto knife to cut out the black font area.
Here is the aerosol adhesive I used. I just picked it up at Hobby Lobby.
The finished product. Already hanging up in my dining room.
In conclusion, Yes, this quick and dirty how to monogram a plate method worked. I do think I'm going to redo it next week (I'm headed out of town tomorrow until Sunday night) with gold paint instead of the paint pen. That's because the paint pen didn't give the initial the glossy look I had hoped for. The E looks rather dull when you compare it to the rest of the gold on the plate. I haven't decided yet if I want to polyurethane spray over it or not. I'll do an update and let you know. Just remember that if you mess up, just use the polish remover to get the paint off. Test an area on the back of the plate first with the remover to make sure it doesn't hurt the plate's finish in anyway first. If you try this please let me know how it turned out and send pics!
