Hey Preps!
Ever thought of personalizing your fabric items, but they don't work with stickers? Iron-on monograms are perfect for that! Here are two great ideas for where you can use your iron-on decals:
The first DIY is an adorable monogrammed pillowcase. Here is what you'll need:
You will need a pillowcase of your choice, (mine came with a set of sheets from Target) a monogrammed iron-on decal, (I totally recommend Alli Monograms. Her monograms are super cute, affordable and great quality. Be sure to use my coupon code "socutesoprep" for 10% off at checkout!) you'll also need a small cutout of parchment paper.
I am using a 3.5" royal blue, vine font monogram decal.
1. Begin heating your iron. Be sure that you have set your iron on the cotton setting.
2. Place your monogram on your pillowcase. I wanted mine on the end, but you can put yours on the corner, in the middle, wherever you'd like.
3. Keep the clear plastic on the decal, and set your parchment paper over top.
4. Press the warmed iron on the decal with medium/firm pressure and hold for 10 seconds. Be sure not to slide the iron, it could wrinkle or crinkle your decal. Make sure the entire transfer is covered.
5. Gently peel the clear sheet off the monogram. If the monogram is still not stuck to your pillowcase, repeat Step 4 until the clear sheet will peel off.
6. Cover the decal with your parchment piece and iron again for 2-3 seconds.
Now you're done! Wait 24 hours before washing your pillowcase and don't use fabric softener. This pillowcase is perfect for sleepovers, movie nights and a great gift idea! Enjoy!

The second DIY is a monogrammed fleece blanket. Here is what you'll need:
You will need a blanket of your choice, (I went out and got a light fleece blanket from Target for $10. You will want a fleece one because the fuzzy, shaggy ones will not cooperate with the monogram.) an iron-on monogram, (I am using another 3.5" monogram from Alli Monograms in purple. My coupon code is featured in the DIY above and on the "Shop" page, here on the blog.) you will also need a small cutout of parchment paper. (The parchment paper is included with your iron-on purchase from Alli Monograms!!) Now, onto the blanket. You will follow the same steps for the iron-on monogram for your blanket as well.
1. You will want to find where you are placing your monogram. I chose one of the corners, but it would be so cute if you got a bigger monogram and put it in the middle!
2. Place your parchment paper over the monogram and hold the iron on for 10 seconds. If it still doesn't stick, repeat this step. Because of the blanket material, the iron might make some marks, but if you rub your fingers over the marks, the fleece will go back to normal instead of being so flat.
3. Peel off the clear plastic, lay your parchment paper on top and iron for 2-3 seconds.
Now, you're done! This blanket/pillow duo is perfect for sleepovers. While we are talking about what is perfect for sleepovers, charger wraps are great! Me and my friends have them, and we never have to worry about taking someone else's charger home or getting them mixed up! The pillowcase and blanket look great together and will definitely be useful this Winter! This DIY is super easy to do, and Alli Monograms is definitely a reputable source for high-quality monograms.
