DIY::: Monogram Wallpaper Using Google Docs!

I love monograms! What preppy girl wouldn't! The only things is how do you make monograms for your computer (or even phones) wallpaper. I'll show  you how to make one from Google Drive which you should have for free if you have a Google account.

First you'll want to open Google drive and a document (do this by finding create on the left side and its a red button.). With this you can crop your monogram. Now keep that for later.

So open up this website  and it will send you to Fontmeme. Scroll all the way down to the bottom and it will have a monogram generator. 

Type in your initials (first, last, middle), select the monogram kk font, your color and size (I go with 200).

You'll want to copy and paste this into your word document.

This will have all your initials together, but if you know what a monogram looks like the middle letter is always bigger than the two on the sides. What you'll want to do is to click on it and the blue box around it will show, don't adjust it. A box that looks like this

 will show up on the bar.

You'll want to click on that and it will show a gray boarder around your initials. You'll want to take it from the side (NOT THE CORNERS!!! THIS WILL SHRINK THE LETTERS!!!) and adjust it so one letter is highlighted. Press enter and this will show up as a single letter. You'll want to click "break text". This will help you copy all the letters together.

(Gray boader)

(Adjust the gray boarder and press enter)

So you'll need to get the other two letters so paste the image again and do the same thing you did with the first. (Remember to only take in from the sides and not the corners!!!!!)

Once your done with this open up drive again and click on create, then drawing. You'll want to open up your image you've chosen (I chose Lilly Pulitzer Red White and Blue since 4th of July is coming up soon) (you should've screenshotted your image by the way!!!). Open it by clicking image which looks like this:

You'll want to adjust the width so it fits the box (you can also adjust the box by extending this:

(I didn't do this)

Now copy and paste the monogram onto the drawing and you'll have to do the letters individually. 

Before you make any adjustments to the letters you'll want to open up shapes and click on the circle. Make it a circle and put in whatever color you want (I chose white.) 

(Make the circle)

 

(Color in the circle)

Now drag the letters in and adjust them so that the middle is bigger than the outer two. You may also have to right click, find order, and click send forward so the letters are in the front.

You can also adjust the circles line weight and color by clicking on this:

I like to do that.

This is how mine turned out!

I hope you had fun making your monogram!!! 

Thanks for reading! Come back soon!!!
