This will also help your sign look more uniform. Make sure you outline your grid in pencil so you can erase it later on.
For example, if you are cutting an A, make 2 diagonal cuts on either side of the rectangle to make the basic shape. If you are making an E, cut out 2 small rectangles on the right side of your paper to cut out the lines on the right side of the letter. If you’re using the grid method, you can use the lines of the grid to make sure your cuts are even on each side.
If you drew a grid on your rectangles, use the boxes to make sure that your curves are even on each side.
You can use this trick for any letters that have cutouts in the center, like A, B, D, O, P, and Q.
Adding cardstock is a great way to keep your letters around for a long time.
You can make your sign look more interesting by adding a decorative piece of paper behind your letters. It can have a floral pattern, bold stripes, or polka dots.
This is great for signs in the classroom that you want your students to focus on.
This is a great way to hang letters above a whiteboard or corkboard. You can also use a hole punch to make holes in the top of each letter and then thread the twine through the holes.
