Wipe the area of the bag where your monogram will be located with a wet towel and give it time to dry.</p> <figure><a class="images-link" data-lightbox="gallery" href="https://abbigli.com/thumbs/PDQN6jjILS12K95jvEOIb-xwg1c=/ddd72a2af74e408f9c2fbaac98efb058"><img src="https://abbigli.com/thumbs/unsafe/fit-in/1000x0/https://abbigli.com/thumbs/PDQN6jjILS12K95jvEOIb-xwg1c=/ddd72a2af74e408f9c2fbaac98efb058" data-image="30469"></a></figure> <p>2. Cut out your monogram and hatch its wrong side with a pencil. The hatching should be even.</p> <figure><a class="images-link" data-lightbox="gallery" href="https://abbigli.com/thumbs/l4Dse66OT-QJ4omFlIrCcfQL4sA=/03e59906fe224535a0ed0598474862d7"><img src="https://abbigli.com/thumbs/unsafe/fit-in/1000x0/https://abbigli.com/thumbs/l4Dse66OT-QJ4omFlIrCcfQL4sA=/03e59906fe224535a0ed0598474862d7" data-image="30470"></a></figure> <p>3. Turn over the paper. The monogram is now up. Put it where it should be and fix it with the help of self-adhesive paper tape. Then, press through the outline of the monogram with the help of the pencil. This way the outline will be imprinted on the bag.</p> <figure><a class="images-link" data-lightbox="gallery" href="https://abbigli.com/thumbs/uPdmlss3rWw-6QsTY3GohouXKPM=/9d554c955e2849e18a626958b33b6cda"><img src="https://abbigli.com/thumbs/unsafe/fit-in/1000x0/https://abbigli.com/thumbs/uPdmlss3rWw-6QsTY3GohouXKPM=/9d554c955e2849e18a626958b33b6cda" data-image="30471"></a></figure> <p>4. Take away the monogram and, if you’re going to use light colours, clear the surface of the article off the excess of graphite with the help of an eraser.</p> <figure><a class="images-link" data-lightbox="gallery" href="https://abbigli.com/thumbs/rW95r1lrKNK5E7gIyeU6WwRj7mY=/fdc3a256997a49d189edf86525a6cc75"><img src="https://abbigli.com/thumbs/unsafe/fit-in/1000x0/https://abbigli.com/thumbs/rW95r1lrKNK5E7gIyeU6WwRj7mY=/fdc3a256997a49d189edf86525a6cc75" data-image="30472"></a></figure> <p>5. You may start drawing. You need to apply paint on the outline of the monogram with light strokes. Remember, that there is a need to get rid of the excess of paint on the brush beforehand. Be attentive and try not to hurry up.</p> <figure><a class="images-link" data-lightbox="gallery" href="https://abbigli.com/thumbs/s0qRlNMT1uoGKfjFB1ZWlJ6hyq0=/27d705ebf221417787b222e5f042321d"><img src="https://abbigli.com/thumbs/unsafe/fit-in/1000x0/https://abbigli.com/thumbs/s0qRlNMT1uoGKfjFB1ZWlJ6hyq0=/27d705ebf221417787b222e5f042321d" data-image="30473"></a></figure> <p>6. Give the first layer of paint time to dry (approximately 20 minutes) and apply the second layer of paint. Then, leave the picture to dry thoroughly.</p> <figure><a class="images-link" data-lightbox="gallery" href="https://abbigli.com/thumbs/RoBANsY5lBWZLTE3LCaVZDZj1Lo=/b10d660cecce4284bf74024b71ef4227"><img src="https://abbigli.com/thumbs/unsafe/fit-in/1000x0/https://abbigli.com/thumbs/RoBANsY5lBWZLTE3LCaVZDZj1Lo=/b10d660cecce4284bf74024b71ef4227" data-image="30474"></a></figure> <p>Your monogram is ready!</p> <figure><a class="images-link" data-lightbox="gallery" href="https://abbigli.com/thumbs/4-a65NOKxPpV1IIfg974bQWZmmA=/b6cf6b734e144c7da670b60299c8e6ed"><img src="https://abbigli.com/thumbs/unsafe/fit-in/1000x0/https://abbigli.com/thumbs/4-a65NOKxPpV1IIfg974bQWZmmA=/b6cf6b734e144c7da670b60299c8e6ed" data-image="30475"></a></figure>
