DIY Aisle Runner

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.

    @kt2of3 I got the aisle runner from Joann fabrics

    The one that's online only and with the coupon it was like $11. It feels almost like a table cloth or a thick napkin.

    @Nicole f. I didn't take long at all. Maybe because I sent the kids outside they're on spring break I traced it one day and finished the next day and had my music going lol

    I have Microsoft office on my computer. Is Microsoft publisher part of it ? So you think I'd beable to just use Mircrosoft word and insert pics / clip art to bring to staples and have my template made?
