Do you find yourself always looking for that one piece no one else will have? Something unique? True to you? And maybe even kind of sweet? We have just the answer, and the good news is you can do it from the comfort of your own home—DIY monogramming. (Yes, it's a thing.) Since I am no expert on the matter in any way, shape, or form, I decided to turn to an expert.

"Embroidery is literally the easiest way to monogram. It only takes patience! Draw your letters with a pencil on a white tee, and start with a back stitch. All you need is thread, a needle, and a pair of scissors—that's it," says Janis Munz of Janis Embroidery. And if she says it's possible, then it's definitely a case worth hearing out. To give you some background on Janis, while growing up in Paris, France, she would spend hours practicing embroidery with her nanny. But it wasn't until later in her life, between jobs and with some extra time on her hands, that she began stitching tattoo-inspired designs onto her favorite wardrobe pieces and from there created a business around it.

I am not crafty in any sense of the word, and the concept of DIY monogramming seemed extremely foreign to me, but Janis assured me with her step-by-step guide that it's actually pretty easy. By the end of her mini tutorial, you'll be able to monogram and embroider as many items in your closet as your heart desires. In other words, your wardrobe is about to get 10 times more exciting. All you have to do is follow the instructions below.
