I first saw this on Pinterest but it took me to an expired listing on Etsy so I decided to make my own.
I used PowerPoint because I don’t have Photoshop and it was really easy. All you need is a computer, printer, white sticker paper or labels, clear packing tape and scissors.
Step 1: Open a new presentation and insert WordArt.
Step 2: Type in your initials – first name initial, last name initial, middle name initial. Then, under Format, click on Affects. Click on Transform and choose Inflate. This will give the round shape we need. Then play around with different fonts.
Step 3: Insert a circle shape. Change the color to whatever you want. I also removed the shadow from the circle.
Step 4: Check the size of your circle and make sure the height and width are the same. Then click on reorder and send the circle to the back. Select your circle and Wordart. Under align, select align center and align middle so your initials are perfectly centered in the circle.
Step 5: Group everything together and resize to 0.5 inches. Print out on sticker paper. Then I placed a piece of packing tape over the circle before cutting to make it more durable.
Step 6: Cut out your monogram and stick on your phone.
How fun is this? You will have plenty of supplies left over so make a few for all your friends! I made some for all my neighbors and I can’t wait to make one for my mom.
