How to add flair to your handwriting

I'm on a bit of a calligraphy kick and wanted to give you all a few pointers on how to make your handwriting/lettering more fun. It's super easy to achieve a great result! Any writing utensils work for this project.

Try new fonts.
First things first! Try some new lettering out: Pinterest is a great place to find some fun typography to try. You can even look at some magazines, books, or websites to get some inspiration for fun lettering! Evolve doodles into fonts.

Add some decor.
This is the time to add hearts, stars, rainbows, unicorns... Crazy weird doodles are highly recommended :)

Infuse some color!
The best part is right here. Add lots of color to your lettering or add some to certain words to add emphasis. Pens and colored pencils work great for this type of stuff.

That's about it! I hope that helps a bit regarding handwriting and lettering. Make sure to get a nice little notebook to practice your hand lettering in -- once it's done, you'll have a nice little collection to refer to later.

  1. I can't tell you how many colors my notebooks from school are in. Purple, blue, green, oranage, pink, red you name it, I had it. There used to be a pen where you push the dials on top down and a new color would enter your pen. It was awesome! I have to get back to writing like that! Thanks for the reminder how awesome actually writing is! =)
