Crafternoon: Nautical Flags Name & Monogram


A few days ago I gave y'all a peek into my room! I featured my DIY wall, which you can see above! While I'm not very good at most crafty things, I did come up with this project on my own!

I bought these canvases when I did my rhinestone project and two came in a pack. One was used in the rhinestone monogram and the other sat around untouched for a few months. After the inordinate amount of patience necessary for that rhinestone monogram, I was CRAFTED OUT. I was inspired when my roommate painted her cooler (final product coming this week!) and I wanted to do something too!

Using nautical flags, I painted that canvas in the color scheme of my bedding. I used these flags for reference:

The top line of my canvas is my name: K-A-T-I-E
The bottom line is my monogram: c-R-a

Since Katie is with a K, and I always do my monogram with Catherine, my "real" first name, it created some interest and is about as close to a conversation piece I could come up with!

At the time, my roommate and I couldn't find a ruler if our lives depended on it, so I used index cards to measure out my flags! Hee-hee!

If you're feeling crafty, this is a great project to try! It was easy and fun and I'm sure if you're an avid crafter, you've probably got everything you have in your craft closet!

I really want to try using the nautical flags to spell out my name! That's such a neat idea! :)
