I work from home as a freelance writer and often have a lot of free-time between projects. I’m in hot and humid south Florida and heading outside for a walk or bike ride during the middle of the day is just about impossible during the summer months. So, it’s good to have a few indoor activities to occupy my time until I start working on my next freelancing or consulting project.
I’m always looking for new arts and crafts projects to try out and have been researching calligraphy, logos and digital monograms that I can add to my altered art, scrapbook, book of shadows, or art journal projects. The key to creating amazing logos and monograms is as simple as going online and in just a few clicks you can get started.
Many online design sites include a simple tutorial to help you create free and low-cost digital monograms and logos so you can get up and running in no time. Read on to learn how you can use online monogram design tools to use in your own arts, crafts, DIY, and design projects.
Fun With Digital Monograms
From creating your text, selecting a font, frame design, size and orientation – an online digital monogram making tutorial is the best way to learn how to create your first logo. The logos can then be added to your personal blog, a client’s website or even upload to a print-on-demand shop for the creation of custom t-shirts, tote bags and more.
If you are looking to create monogram maker free tools, then look no further. Here are some tips for finding the best online digital design tools for your craft project, t-shirt design, or blog.
Easy Steps to Create Logo
A typical monogram is a combination or two or more combined letters. This can be as simple as the first letters of your first name, middle name and last name. You can also use the logo for a client’s website, blog or to adorn their marketing collateral (business cards, brochures, flyers, print or digital ads). The possibilities are endless!
Using a FREE, online monogram maker or digital design tool lets you quickly and easily design amazing logos from scratch.
- Type your monogram letters (your initials or company initials)
- Select a font
- Select a design frame
- Change or adjust color
- Export and download your monogram
Using Monograms and Logos
Besides the myriad online uses (websites, blogs and digital ads) monograms can be engraved on hard objects like silver or gold jewelry or embroidered onto canvas or cloth. Create your own, unique logos and use them in a variety of DIY, craft and design projects including:
- Bath towels
- Wedding invitations
- T-shirts
- Greeting cards, notepads, stationery
- Websites and blogs
- Luggage and tote bags
Besides the items listed above, monograms can be added to a variety of personalized gifts such as jewelry boxes, barware, watches, baby rattles, wine glasses, dog collars and more.
Creating Personalized Gifts
If a friend or family is getting married and you are thinking about what to get them, check to see if they are registered at any of the online gift registries. Married couples often desire items with their monogram and most wedding registries let you register items including their desired monogram.
