Anthropologie Hack – DIY Monogrammed Catch All

I’m not sure if I ever shared with you that I am completely obsessed with Anthropologie. So much so that I stalk the online store for sale items on a weekly basis. Lots of little treasures to put in your shopping cart. Trust. Here’s a tip – check the Freshly Cut items in the Sale area regularly. The prices will surprise you – like this canapé plate I got for around $5.  What do we do with one canapé plate? We make a DIY Monogrammed Catch All of course! Read on for this fun and easy hack!

Anthropologie Hack – DIY Monogrammed Catch All – What You Need

• Silhouette Studio (there is a free version!)
• Silhouette cutting machine ( I used the CAMEO 3)

• Favorite font for your monogram

Anthropologie Hack – DIY Monogrammed Catch All – Instructions

1. Open Silhouette Studio and use the font tool to type your monogram (letter) on the cutting area (I put mine at the top left to save the rest of the sheet for future use)
2. Mirror your design so that the image is reversed
3. Load your gold temporary tattoo sheet into your Silhouette cutting machine (metallic color side up)
4. Send your design to cut using Temporary Tattoo Paper – Metallic settings
5. Once cut, remove the letter from the cutting mat
6. Remove the clear adhesive paper from the letter (on the metallic side) and apply the gold tattoo face down to the middle of the plate with a wet towel
7. Optional: apply a clear sealant or nail varnish to protect the tattooed image (this will help make the tattoo last longer)

I love how mine turned out. It’s perfect for a desk or dressing table, and always a perfect gift. What will you use your pretty trinket dish for? Tell me in the comments below!
