Make Your Own Monogram DIY Bookends

Home Decor· Kids Rooms· Mantle & Tabletop· Paper Mache

I’ve mentioned in other posts that I love when an item is both decorative and functional!  My daughter’s room has been transformed from a preschooler’s room to a “big girl” room now that she’s started kindergarten. And she needs a bookend to help keep all her books from falling over.  I used her initial and the colors in her room to make these pretty monogram DIY bookends.

Monogramed-DIY-bookends-Crafts-UnleashedSupplies needed to make your own monogram DIY bookends:supply-list

  • Paper Mache Letter.
  • Beanbag Fill Pellets.
  • Darice Adhesive Fabric Sheets. (I used Black and White,  Teal & Pink)
  • Darice Craft Dies. (I used Bird and Cherry Blossom)
  • Silhouette Corrugated Adhesive Paper.
  • Adhesive Pearls.

Step one:  Cut an opening at the bottom of the letter and fill with the beanbag fill pellets.  Close and seal the opening with tape.

Monogramed-DIY-bookends-Crafts-Unleashed-3Step two:  Cover the letter with the black and white adhesive fabric sheets.  Simply cut to size, peel off the back, and stick!

Monogramed-DIY-bookends-Crafts-Unleashed-5Step three:  Cut the bird from the blue sheet.

Step four:  Cut the cherry blossom branch from the pink sheet and the corrugated kraft sheet.

Monogramed-DIY-bookends-Crafts-Unleashed-6Step five:  Peel and stick the kraft branch on the letter.  Add the bird and fussy cut the pink flowers off the branch to simply add the flowers to the kraft branch.  Embellish with the adhesive pearls.

Monogramed-DIY-bookends-Crafts-Unleashed-6I love the way the corrugated kraft paper makes the branch look more like wood.

Monogramed-DIY-bookends-Crafts-Unleashed-1The peel and stick fabric is incredible, and a lot less messy than trying to decoupage fabric onto the letter!  The beanbag pellets give the paper mache letter some needed weight, and make it easy to stand up and use as DIY bookends.

Monogramed-DIY-bookends-Crafts-Unleashed-2I hope you enjoyed this DIY bookends tutorial! What themed bookend will you create?
