DIY Gold Monogrammed Pens – The How
- Open Silhouette Studio and use the text tool to type your letters on the cutting area (I used Helvetica with each letter being .4 in)
- Mirror your design so that the image is reversed
- Load your gold sheet into your Silhouette cutting machine (metallic color side up)
- Send your design to cut using Temporary Tattoo Paper settings (I lowered my speed to 1 given the size)
- Once cut, remove the clear adhesive paper and apply the tattoo face down onto your pen
- Optional: apply a clear sealant or nail varnish to protect the tattooed image (this will help make the tattoo last longer)
Easy, right? Now tell me in the comments below – are you keeping them or giving them as gifts?
