DIY Aisle Runner

teenageloveaffair, on April 5, 2013 at 6:20 PM Posted in Do It Yourself 1 54

So happy with the outcome of my aisle runner. I had a lil teardrop after looking at it when I was finished.

First I created a template in publisher of our monogram using different text boxes. Printed it out and took it to Staples and had them to enlarge it $3.49. Originally I printed it out and was going to tape all the pages together and decided that was too much for me.

I layed the enlarged copy on my table first and then the aisle runner (Joann Fabric with coupon $11)and traced the design. I used acrylic paints and paint markers was a huge plus. If you are like me and can't stay inside the lines I recommend getting them they make your lines and edges very sharp. I didn't like the black acrylic paint it was too watery so I just used the paint marker. I oulined my design with the markers and lightly sprayed glitter spray on the design and sparkles.

    Ok I would like one in Bright Kelly Green and Bright Navy please. I will email you the .pdf and all my contact info and where to send it... thank you.

    J/K LOL - amazing job!! I saw this and wanted to do it but we're outdoors and I'm afraid it won't look as nice rolled on the area we have picked out for the ceremony. But great work!!!
