I Want to Write Beautifully on Paper Items!

For brides who are "making paper items by hand" or "writing something by hand," how do you plan to write the letters?

For example,

☑ Welcome board lettering

☑ Addressing invitations

☑ Writing on place cards

☑ Save the date lettering

☑ Wedding flags

These are all items that you want to finish beautifully with stylish fonts♡

However, even when looking at sample letters, writing freehand can be difficult and may not turn out as well as expected…!

@cano.bride

So this time, I will introduce the method of "tracing" when creating wedding paper items!

Besides letters, you can also apply this method to illustrations, so

try various approaches in a way that is easy for you♡

Beautiful Tracing Method ① Using Carbon Paper

The first method I will introduce is the classic "using carbon paper"＊

Carbon paper is a copy sheet used for application forms and so on.

Simply layer the paper you want to trace (the bottom sheet) ➡ carbon paper ➡ sample paper, and trace over it with a pencil to beautifully transfer the sample lettering♩

Carbon paper is relatively easy to obtain at home improvement stores or 100-yen shops. Many brides may have used it in elementary school crafts, so its usability should be easy to understand♩

However, carbon paper can sometimes leave marks around the edges.

Therefore,

☑ It is recommended for dark backgrounds like chalkboard-style welcome boards

☑ When applying a solid color from above with acrylic paint

among other situations◎

Beautiful Tracing Method ② Using LED Light

The next method I will introduce is using an LED light and a clear file＊

By placing the LED light in a clear file and putting the sample letters inside the envelope or clear file, the letters will shine through, allowing you to trace them beautifully♩

Unlike carbon paper, it won’t leave dirty marks, but the area that can be traced is small, and the light tends to be faint, which can be a drawback.

It's recommended for smaller writing areas like,

☑ Addressing invitations

☑ Place cards

etc.◎

Beautiful Tracing Method ③ Using a Tablet

The next method I will introduce allows you to display the sample letters on a tablet and trace directly over them!

While using the LED light method requires printing the sample paper, using a tablet eliminates the need to prepare sample paper◎

Similar to the LED light method, it's recommended for smaller writing areas like,

☑ Addressing invitations

☑ Place cards

etc.♩

Beautiful Tracing Method ④ Using Transparent Items

Finally, I will introduce a method that involves making the item you will be writing on itself transparent!

By using an acrylic photo frame, the item itself is transparent, so you can simply trace over the sample letters♡

Recommended for:

☑ Welcome boards

☑ Wedding certificates

☑ Save the date items

etc.♩
