To make your own monograms using Microsoft Word:
 Open a new document and insert a Wordart textbox.- Type the letter you need and select a font and size.
- Using the draw menu, flip the letter horizontally.
- Print the letter on the wrong side of the cardstock and hand-cut with scissors or a craft knife.
If you don't have a computer, try the same technique using a stencil. Simply flip it over and trace the outline on the reverse of your cardstock. Continue as above.
Ideas for using Monograms:
- Names - first letter of a person's name
- Months - O is for October
- Seasons - A is for Autumn
- Places - Cities or Countries
- Events - A for Anniversary, B for Birth
- Emotions - H for Happy
You can also use this technique to make letters of any size - perhaps to spell a whole word.
