I am sure you have seen them around town…these gorgeous monogram necklaces made out of acrylic.
I’ve been wanting one of my own for WEEKS! The only problem is, a custom acrylic monogram necklace is anywhere from $40-$80, depending on the size you get. No freaking way was I going to spend $80 on a tiny piece of acrylic. Then, miraculously, almost like my boss was seeing into my hopes and dreams, he purchased an laser cutter! OUR OFFICE HAS A LASER CUTTER! I instantly started thinking of all the things I could cut with that big, beautiful laser. In my days in the Studio of the design program, I used to dream we had a laser cutter to help us in the process of creating our intensive models. Now, I have one at my finger tips. So guess what the first thing I did was….?
Made myself a monogram DIY necklace. Several actually.
And for nearly a quarter of the cost! Want your own customized monogram?? You know who to call!

I have seen these acrylic monogram pendant necklaces on BaubleBar and Three Hip Chicks but also couldn’t bring myself to spend that much! I have a friend that also has a laser cutter and this DIY craft was next on my list. Great minds think alike!
