Instructions:
Begin by using a
stencil or draw your first initial to make your monogram. Next, paint the
letter. In the example, the letter was painted with dark blue acrylic paint.
After that use, a circle stencil or draw circles to make flowers. Draw or paint
as many flowers as possible around the letter.
Wait
for the paint to dry. Continue painting and adding more paint to the letter or
to the flowers. Then paint the background. In this example, the background was
painted with blue acrylic paint and diluted in water to make a lighter shade of
blue for the background. Lastly, gold metallic acrylic paint was added on top
of the letter.
Continue painting
until you get the entire paper covered with paint. Wait for the entire painting
to get dry. Once it is dry, you can insert the painted binder cover inside the
binder. Also, make sure you paint another binder cover for the other side of
the binder. Another way is to paint one binder cover and make a color copy of
the painted binder cover for the other side of the binder cover.

monogram binder covers for summer school or for any time of the school year.
Nevertheless, practice painting your monograms with xerox paper. If you want to
have a thicker binder cover, you can paint it on card stock paper. Use spray
varnish once your painted binder cover is ready before inserting in your
binder. This painting tutorial can take one or two hours to complete.
