Sharing our DIY aisle runner pics

On Saturday, FH and I stayed in and personalized our aisle runner. We purchased a sheer fabric one from Wrap With Us for $30, spent $1 on 4 mini bottles of acrylic paint (we realized afterwards we only needed 2 bottles and would've still had a ton extra) from AC Moore and 1 package of brushes from Mace's ($1).

My mom saw the end product and said it looked comparable to the $100+ personalized aisle runners we saw online! Yays!

(Edited to add a thanks to 103005FallBride for her photos in the DIY thread showing us how to make it)

That is fabulous! Great Job. It looks totally professional

Did you use a stencil for the lettering. It really looks great

ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS!!!! I love it. Looks very professional. How did you get it to look so good. Did you use an overhead projector to copy onto the runner?

Thanks! We just blew up the words using Microsoft Word and printed it out to trace onto the runner directly. We taped the sheets under the runner, traced, and painted.

It was actually really easy.

its the same runner, just different angled pics. the phrase will be in the center of the aisle while the monogram will be at the base by the church entrance.

We used directions from this thread on the DIY board
