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…!
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.◎
