Defined Tag: Monogram Embosser.

You've seen them: double initials of somebody's name that are attached together in a symbol that lends itself to something more than the standard appeal of initials. They can be found on the back pocket of a pair of jeans, on a sweater, a backpack, or anything that signifies a person's possession and identity.



While many people have seen these personal monograms, most assume the process too expensive to consider having done to their clothing. Or, if they are willing to spend the money, a tailor is usually more than happy to oblige them though, again, at a cost. However, the truth of the matter is that with a monogram embosser, the solution is not only at hand, but relatively inexpensive.



A monogram embosser is basically two pieces of metal. One side, the "female" section, has an indention, whereas the "male" is the negative impression of your two main initials (and your middle initial if desired). The metal pieces are placed on either side of your clothing, which is often preheated with an iron, and the two metal pieces are joined together. The combination of heat and the pressure from the monogram embosser allows the fibers of the fabric to bend as it molds to the shape of your initials.



This is a nice application which can be done with any image, though works especially well with one's initials as letters are simple and easily read from a piece of clothing. Yet clothing is not the only "canvas" for this art. Handkerchiefs are a popular place to display initials, as they are so easily dropped on the ground.



Further, paper receives this treatment quite well, better than cloth, even. This fact has not been lost to the stationary industry, which is more than happy to emblazon initials or other logos onto writing paper.



A nice fact is that a monogram embosser is not so difficult to make at home, with a little ingenuity. The easiest method would be to utilize sheet metal and tin snips and simply cut out a fancy monogram. However, this might not produce the most professional looking results. If you know a metalworker, he or she would have a good idea about how to go about creating such a tool.



In any event, monograms look nice and show pride in oneself. In fact, it's amazing that they are not more common.
