Hi Everyone!

I just wanted to show you guys my first attempt at making crystal monograms for cake toppers. I saw a tutorial on another cake site. Mine are made from cheap rhinestones from Michael's not the expensive ones. It wasn't really hard. I had a hard time learning to use a soldering tool, but other than it was pretty easy.

Okay, this might be a really stupid question but I would really like to know. What do the letters in the monogram stand for, for instance in the one pictured, would the small letters be the letter of their first name and the big letter be the letter of the last name?

I feel really stupid asking this question..... icon_redface.gif

Yes, it is harder to navigate but it has great info. There is a section title How'd They Do That it has demos and tricks of the trade topics. It is under demos.
