So, without any further babbling, let us dive into the details of how to decorate the MDF monogram letters at home.

Materials you’ll Need to Decorate MDF Monogram Letter:

• MDF Monogram letter
• Bottle Green Acrylic Paint
• Printed Card stock
• varnish
• Foam Brushes
• Scissors/ cutter
• Painting Palette
• Pencil
  

Steps 1: 

Take any MDF name cutouts or monogram letters of your choice. Set it on the table and start pouring the required acrylic paint on the painting palette. Here, we are using bottle green acrylic paint but you can go with any of the darker shades as per your choice.

Step 2: 

Now, start painting the sides and edges of the letters with a foam brush. This is the best way to give proper finishing to your artwork. A foam brush will also help you to work swiftly.

Step 3:

Now the fun part begins! Here, we are using the sheet of 6x6 paper stack printed in hexagonal designs. You can also take personalized pictures, natural flower petals, or any of the designs you want to texturize on the monogram letters.

Step 4: 

Place the letter on the top of the paper and trace the design with the help of a pencil. If you are not comfortable tracing the minor gaps, you can put the paper with the front side down and place the letter beneath the paper. Then feel the gaps and trace them carefully. While doing so, make sure to recheck if the design is perfectly drawn or not.

Step 5: 

Once you are done, carefully cut the traced lines with a pair of scissors or a sharp cutter. This will result in a bit smaller cutout than actual letters so that your color at the edges will be visible clearly behind the paper.

But, if you want the letters a bit more than the actual letter, then cut inside the traced line.

Step 6: 

Now apply the layer of varnish to the MDF monogram letter with a foam brush. Then stick the paper cutout on the letter and press down well. Make sure it is well secured with no bubbles on it. Then again apply the layer of varnish on the top of it.

Step 7: 

The varnish will seem to be a white layer on the paper sheet but will turn transparent and clear once it gets dry. Clean up the edges to restrain the letter from dripping down the sides.

Your Customized MDF Monogram is ready to shine in your decor with glossy and dimensional finishing on it.
