Designer aprons are very useful in making statements or advertising your products. You can use the aprons to make a statement that can catch the attention of the observers and prospective customers. Aside from being a protective covering and useful accessory in cooking, you can have your monograms and other symbols placed on it to promote your identity.

There are several methods that you can use to make monograms on your aprons. These techniques include using appliques, embroidery, and beads. You can also use the sewing machine to make monograms or try your hand in fabric painting. You can also use ribbons if it complements the message that you wanted to get across to the observers.

Monograms in aprons start as designs. In creating the plan, select the symbols or letters that you would like to include. You can use the first letters of your name or your company. Next step is to select the font or your monogram. The most popular font used in monograms is the calligraphy since it enables with it a level of elegance and style. You can also employ other fonts that are suitable for your plan. Combining the upper and lower case of the letters for the design is also one way of making your creation attractive. After creating the plan, transfer it to the apron ready for application of the chosen method.

If you are using paint, make sure first that the coating you use is suitable to the cloth of your apron. You can apply a small amount on the same fabric and let dry. Then try to wash the fabric to see if the paint does not come off or bleed on the cloth. This is an essential step to avoid ruining cloth and your creation as well. Fabric paints contained in tubes are much easier to apply than the paints in cans.

Using embroidery on your monogram gives it a more formal look than the other techniques. Choose the appropriate thread and color for your design. You can also combine colors and use special threads to put emphasis on your designs. Embroidery can be done by hand or using a machine.

There are sewing machines that are capable of sewing embroidery on cloth. You can choose between a manual and an automatic. Manual sewing machines require a stable hand from the operator to create the perfect result. Automatic sewers use patterns uploaded to their memory for the embroidery job.

Appliques and beads can also be used in the monogram creations if it is suitable for the purpose. Appliques are commonly used in the aprons made for children. To apply the monogram, simply trace the pattern of the symbol, cut it out, make room for edgings, and glue or sew it to the apron. Beads are sewed to the apron following the pattern.

You can also use ribbons to make the initials in your cloth. To place the ribbons securely on your cloth, thread it through a big eyed needle and make the necessary sewing to trace completely the design of your symbols in your designer aprons. To create a ribbed look and provide texture to your design, alternate between short and long stitches.

You can vary the sizes of the paintbrushes that you are using to apply the paint. You can also vary the strokes provided that the result will still be artistic. You can also combine all the techniques mentioned to create more dramatic statements on the designer aprons.
