DIY tiered monogram plate

I made this for a dear friend of mine...

first, I spray painted the inside of a dessert glass.

then, I printed out a monogram and taped it face down on the top of a glass plate.

then I just painted over the monogram... this works great if you aren't great at freestylin'

next, I spray painted a contrasting color on the bottom of the dessert glass and plate.

here they are after they dried.

final step to glue the dessert glass to the plate.  I like it upside down so that it has a broader base.

voila!  under $15!!!
