My DIY Aisle runner... so far

posted 1 year ago in Aisle decor

I had my monogram designed by a fellow bee (gocubbies) who is absolutely amazing and has done my invites, RSVPs, a thank you label and will soon be working on rehearsal dinner invites.

Anyway, here it is so far, I'm so proud of myself lol

It looks fantastic ... how were you able to make it large enough to trace?

I had it printed at Kinkos on one large sheet of paper (like the paper blueprints are on) it was only $7something and well worth it!

 

update!!

i'm confused.... you are tracing correct - I thought the 'blueprint' is under the actual runner - but I dont' see that in your picture.  Please educate me because I want to do this so badly!

The lady that created our monogram (gocubbies) enlarged it to 36" x 36", we took the pdf file to kinkos and they printed it on one sheet of paper like the size of a poster or something.

@weddingforcindy: We placed that paper underneath the aisle runner and traced, then removed it when we started painting.

Here is the final product....

You did an awesome job on this. This is actually what I was thinking of doing, too. Thanks for the explanation of how you did it; that helps me a lot! =)

This looks so beautiful.  You really did an amazing job!  And the fellow Bee that designed your monogram is really talented, it flows so nice :)

I dunno if yall can see it in the picture, but above the H on the left hand side I dropped the brush (oops). I used carpet cleaner (lol) but I couldn't get it all the way out. Any suggestions on how to cover it up??
