How to Make a Lilly Pulitzer Monogrammed Wall Decoration

Today I am going to be sharing with you one of my a time DIY's. These are fairly easy to make and can personalized just for you! Once you get this technique down, everyone is going to be asking you to make them one! 

Here's a little sneak peak at the final product! 

The website that has the font you need for this is www.dafont.com. The font is called “Monogram KK Font". But, I originally discovered it by Googling  “Monogram font” and click on the first search result, which is that website. Whatever floats your boat. :) Click the download button, and then open the file.

I then clicked on the file named “Monogram kk sc” and then pressed the install button. This will install the font everywhere on your computer.

Because this is a Lilly Pulitzer wall decoration, we need some Lilly! I just Googled "Lilly Pulitzer Backgrounds” and chose my favorite, which is called “First Impressions”. I then proceeded to save the image.

Next, I opened PowerPoint. There are many ways to make this wall decoration, but I find that PowerPoint is the most straightforward program. I deleted the textboxes first so that they don’t get in the way. Next, under the design tab, I clicked on “Page Setup”. I changed the orientation of the page to be portrait. Depending on which size you want your wall decoration to be, you can adjust the dimension to your needs. I decided to keep it simple with the dimensions for a regular piece of paper, which is 8.5 by 11 inches. This screenshot was taken before I changed it, to show you what it looked like before.

You will then notice that it changes your slide to resemble a piece of paper. Now, you will want to click on “Background Styles”, which is on the far right of the design tab. From there, you will click “Format Background”. I then clicked on “Picture or Texture Fill”, and you can insert your picture from there.

It’s starting to take shape!

I inserted a text box by clicking the “Insert” tab and the the “Text Box” box.

For your first and middle initials, I find that using size 150 font works the best. Here is what it looks like after I inserted both my first and middle initial. 

For my last initial, I like using size 250 so that it is biggest and most pronounced. 

Now that all of our letters are inserted, it’s time to mess around with the cosmetics of things! I first changed how close the monogram letters were to each other. I personally like the look when my letters of my monogram are pretty close together, so I just move them along the very helpful dotted line. (You’ll see once you start moving them!)

Then, I changed the font color to a hot pink. Yes, I realize you can’t see my initials very well now, but that is why I then inserted a circle. This is a personal preference, but I like the way it looks.

All you have to do to insert the circle is click on the “Insert” tab and then click “Shapes”, where you will find that circle waiting for you. From there, I adjusted the size, the color, and the shape outline to get the final product! Dun, dun, dun dun!!

I think that this is a pretty simple DIY to do once you get the hang of it! I hope that this tutorial helped you learn a little something-something! Good luck!
