When creating an inscription, of course, you can be guided by your own taste or idea of ​​​​the design of the future text, but the trinkets will only complicate the text, and not make it more beautiful.


  • When using a computer program or ready-made templates, you should not count on the special “beauty” of the inscription or its uniqueness. This is explained simply: the creators of such templates do not bother looking for information about a well-designed font.

How beautiful to write letters for the design of a poster, stand, holiday: sample letters for writing

When creating text, follow the following sequence:

What you need to create beautiful letters on a large format poster or paper sheet:
fountain pen for ink and ink

  • Fountain pen nib set (tips of different thicknesses)
  • wide markers (special, for a glossy surface)
  • paint for these markers (specialized stores sell paint with various overflows, for example, metallic)
  • in the absence of a fountain pen, felt-tip pens, colored pencils, gouache or watercolor can be used


In the absence of a fountain pen, you can use felt-tip pens, colored pencils, gouache or watercolor

A narrow nib can be used to write vertical dashes and lines, a wide nib can be used for the side parts of letters. With this method of writing, letters acquire volume.

  • If you decide to use felt-tip pens or colored pencils, then start by outlining the outline of the letters. This is done with a simple pencil. The contour is further outlined with a felt-tip pen, and only then the letter is painted over with paints or pencils.
  • So that the inscription does not look boring, you can draw shadows behind the letters. This will create the illusion of a wall behind the three-dimensional letters that cast a shadow. Letters drawn in 3D also take on extra volume.
  • Technical part: recommendations
    • determine where the inscription will be located
    • without pressing hard on a simple pencil, we make a horizontal line on the sheet (there should be no traces after using the eraser): we apply alternating stripes along the font height and line spacing
    • if you decide to make an oblique inscription, then immediately prepare an oblique line according to the type of school copybooks, but place the lines less often
    • after drawing the auxiliary lines, we begin to write letters with a simple pencil, observing the maximum accuracy of the configuration and adhering to the width of the letters of the selected font
    • errors made when writing letters are corrected immediately with an eraser
    • we circle the finished inscription with a pen, felt-tip pen or marker
    • do not erase draft and auxiliary lines (they can be removed only after the main inscription is completely dry)

    How to apply text using carbon paper?

    • We print the template you like on the printer
    • We put carbon paper on a sheet of paper
    • We put the original text on top and circle it with a pen or pencil
    • After that, we remove the carbon paper and the template, circle the contours formed again with a pen or felt-tip pen

    Do not be afraid to draw lines with a pen over a pencil. The ink will cover the contours drawn earlier with a pencil and the letters will be drawn evenly and evenly. But if you skip the stage of drawing pencil lines, then the inscription will come out sloppy.

    You can choose from the letter outlines suggested in our article and use them as cheat sheets when creating your text.

  3. If desired, in stencils of letters, you can add some decorations.
  4. In order to save ink, the letters are designed in a textured style, you can also use the printer settings to control ink consumption.


TIP: which will save you from wasting paper: print one letter, turn the paper over and print another one on the other side.

How and how to fasten the letters of the garland

To make a garland for a birthday, it is not enough to print stencils, you also need to somehow fasten and hang them. Let's look at options on how this can be done.

We fasten the letters on one long thread

For this you will need:

  • ready-made letter templates,
  • thick thread or ribbon,
  • hole punch, scissors.

Progress:

  • Using a hole punch, make in each letter top 2 holes, and then you need to string the letters on a rope or ribbon.
  • If a the thread is thin, fold it several times, sometimes it looks even more interesting.
  • It is important to string the letters in the correct order so as not to redo them later, so it is better to first arrange the letters as you need and take one at a time.

ATTENTION! You need to tie a knot on each letter so that they do not move out of their place and do not bunch up.


TIP: do not pull the rope too much and it will sag towards the middle, if the rope is stretched, this is a waste of time.

We connect the letters with a bow

This method of fastening is suitable if you cut out the letters not along their contours, but leaving more space in reserve, otherwise the bows may partially overlap the letters (there you need to look at the situation, if the letters are very large, then everything will be in order).

You will need:

  • ready-made letter templates,
  • thick thread or ribbon,
  • hole punch and scissors.

As you can see, all the same materials as in the previous method. Only here we will tie adjacent letters with separate threads.

Progress:


  1. Do hole puncher 2 holes in each template and arrange them in the order in which you will take them.
  2. Take the first and the second letter and tie them with a bow. To make the process more streamlined, you can immediately cut the required number of ribbons of the same length.
  3. When the first two letters are connected, do the same with the second and third, and so on until the end. Your garland is ready.

We fasten the garland with clothespins

Recently, this type of fastening can often be seen at various photo-dryers, that is, photo exhibitions. The method is convenient and fast, and also does not require a hole punch, which is an important advantage for those who do not have one.

Progress: Attach the letters with clothespins in turn to a long rope. All!

How to fasten: in all these methods, the last step is to attach the finished garland to the wall. Of course, no one will punch nails for the sake of a garland, so the ends of the rope can be stretched and tied to any protruding objects (cornice, cabinet handle, pipe, etc.).

Wall mount with adhesive tape

Another option is to attach with adhesive tape (if the surface does not deteriorate from this), and in this case it is better not only at the edges, but in several other places so that the garland does not fall. On the wallpaper, you can carefully prick the pins and hook the rope behind them.

Felt garlands "Happy Birthday"

Here you will have to work harder, but the result will show how much care is invested in the creation of such a garland. We have prepared two master classes that will not leave you indifferent.

You will need:

  • Colored felt or felt fabric (the quantity depends on the inscription)
  • Self-adhesive paper (or freezer paper, if you find one in our stores)
  • letter stencils
  • Scissors or utility knife
  • Rope, ribbon or thick thread (on which you will attach the letters)
  • White thread (for stitching layers of fabric)
  • Sewing machine (if you don't have it, you can do it by hand)
  • Clothespins

Progress:

Step 1:

  • On self-adhesive paper print stencils of the letters needed for the inscription. You choose the size of the letters yourself, depending on how you want to see the inscription and how much space you have for it on the wall.
  • Cut out rectangles with letters, and then to each of them the same size of an empty rectangle of paper and cloth.
  • Fold the rectangles described in the previous paragraph so that the fabric is between the paper, the lines of the letter should be at the top.
  • At work with self-adhesive paper, you just need to stick it on both sides of the fabric, if you find freezer paper, go over the top on both sides with an iron, this will hold the layers together.


Cut out the letters along the outline. Carefully peel off the paper on both sides. We got these beautiful letters:



STEP 2:

  • Now we will make the letters thicker so that they look better and do not twist on the rope so much. To do this, put the letters from the fabric on another layer of felt or felt and iron.
  • We lay a machine or hand line along the contours of the letters at a distance of about 1-2 mm from the edge. We recommend a white thread, as it looks good on all colors of the fabric, otherwise you will have to select a separate thread for each letter, and this is just an additional unnecessary waste of time and money.
  • Cut out each letter along the contour. They are ready, it remains only to attach.
  • Hanging a long rope, fixing its ends to the wall. With clothespins we cling to it each letter in the required sequence to get the selected inscription.

Now the garland is ready to please the birthday boy and surprise the guests!

Happy Birthday poster on fabric

Probably, each of you at least once in your life, at least once at school, drew a congratulatory poster. The manufacturing method proposed in this master class takes this art to a whole new level. Patchwork quilts have long delighted many with their warmth and comfort, and you won’t be surprised by them, but a patchwork poster, I’m sure, will be a complete surprise and an original novelty.

You will need:

  • Scraps of felt or felt fabric (in this case, 9 pieces)
  • Scissors or utility knife
  • letter stencils
  • Adhesive pad (for example, dublerin or interlining)
  • Ironing iron (or any cotton fabric)
  • wooden stick
  • Thick thread for fastening

Progress:

  1. Lay out the pieces of felt or felted fabric so that a rectangle is formed. Consider the combination of colors so that everything looks harmonious and holistic together.
  2. Adjust the patches so that they overlap by about 1.5 cm.
  3. Place an adhesive tape along the edges of the lower shreds, its width is equal to the width of the overlay of fabrics, that is, 1.5 cm.
  4. Iron the fabric carefully. We advise you to use an iron, so as not to spoil the surface of the fabric itself.
  5. You can trim the shape of the poster, giving it the desired size.
  6. You need to process the top edge of the poster. To do this, wrap it inside out by about 1.5-2 cm, it depends on the thickness of the stick, which you will then insert into the resulting hole. Secure the lapel with hand or machine stitching.
  7. On top of the fabric poster, lay out the printed and cut out stencil letters to get the desired congratulatory inscription.
  8. Lightly circle the letters with a small or thin piece of soap, they are then easily erased. It is possible with a pencil, but then you need to cut these lines as well.
  9. Cut out the letters.

The last thing to do is to insert a wooden stick into the hole in the top of the poster and tie a thick thread or ribbon along its sides. Hang up the poster and enjoy the festive mood!

Garlands: Fabric marker

This master class will also have templates, but you no longer need to cut out the letters. Such a garland looks very neat and beautiful, and will surely please the birthday man.

And the most important advantage of fabric garlands is that they can be stored for a long time!

You will need:

  • fabric, paint or marker,
  • letter patterns,
  • scissors, ruler,
  • thick thread, glue.

Progress:

  • Find at home or buy a fabric similar in type to the one shown in the photo. A fabric like burlap works well. It should be light in color with a discreet pattern that will complement the letters, and not draw attention from them to itself.

  • Cut the fabric into even rectangles. In this case, it is 17x12 cm.
  • Choose a letter stencil of your favorite style and print it out. Then lay each letter on a separate piece of fabric and circle.
  • Paint the letter and let it dry. A marker would work too.
  • The color should be contrasting and stand out well against the background of the fabric, not merge so that the inscription can be read even from afar.

TIP: As an alternative, you can cut out templates in thin plastic or film, attach to fabric and immediately sketch

  • Now you need to attach the letters to the thread, forming a garland. Determine how far apart they should be and glue on a thick thread. You can also attach each letter with two clothespins.

Happy Birthday Garland Ideas

Also look at other options for birthday garlands: with glitter, with balloons! Get inspired and let this day be truly special and unique for you!



The Russian language is one of the brightest, most interesting and richest languages ​​in the world. Millions of the best works are written on it - stories, fairy tales, poems. The language is rich and not repeatable. Like everything fundamental, the Russian language has its own basis - the alphabet.

The birth of the Russian alphabet

Work on the creation of the alphabet began in 860 by order of the ruler of Byzantium - Michael III. He instructed two brothers from the Greek city of Thessaloniki: Cyril and Methodius, to form a written Slavic language. Later, from the Greek version of the alphabet, the Bulgarian monks formed the Cyrillic alphabet.

The formation of the Russian alphabet is directly related to the adoption of Christianity in Europe. Slavic writing began to spread from Bulgaria, after the adoption of Christianity by Tsar Boris in 860. It was in Bulgaria that the first written Slavic school was founded. In it, ancient writings - annals - were translated into Slavic. Further, the Old Church Slavonic language appeared in Serbia and Kievan Rus. It was precisely the fact that Old Church Slavonic became the recognized language of the official Russian Church that, over time, it replaced Old Russian. At the same time, stable expressions and a folk tone of the speech of the Slavs remained in it.

Transformations of the Old Church Slavonic alphabet

Since the Russian alphabet was based on the Bulgarian Cyrillic alphabet, which spread after the baptism of Russia, it originally had 43 letters.

Over time, 14 letters were excluded and 4 letters were added. This is due to the transformation of speech - sounds denoting unused letters have disappeared from it. First of all, they disappeared: ioted yus, big yus.

Under Patriarch the Most Holy Nikon in the second half of the seventeenth century, a widespread census of books took place. This period is considered the time of reforms in Russian orthography. The serial numbers of the letters were fixed. But even at that time the alphabet was different from the modern one. Later, already during the reign of Peter I, superscript characters and some duplicate letters denoting numbers were excluded. At that time, Arabic numerals had already been introduced and the extra characters were no longer relevant.

Back in 1917, the Russian alphabet had 35 letters. But as a result of the writing reform carried out in 1918, 33 letters remained in the Russian alphabet.

The structure of the Russian alphabet

Each word consists of minimal parts - sounds. They, like atoms in molecules, form the shell of a word. Each word and its form has a different sound design. What matters is the combination of letters in the word, the setting of the stress.

In order to correctly distinguish the sound of a letter in a particular word, transcription is used. Transcription is a generally accepted graphical form that displays the sound of a word. The transcription shows:

  • syllables within a word.
  • Which syllable is stressed in the word. Stress is indicated if the word consists of two or more syllables.
  • softness of consonants.

The letters of the alphabet are divided into several groups. The largest division of sounds is into vowels and consonants.

Stressed vowels include only six letters. When pronouncing, the sound does not encounter obstacles when passing through the oral cavity. When playing sounds, the ligaments of the larynx work - if you put your hand to the throat, you can feel the movement of the ligaments. If a person can freely shout or sing a letter, it is most likely a vowel sound. Vowels are the basis of syllables. The stressed syllable sounds the most distinct in the word. In unstressed syllables, they can be pronounced differently. That is why when writing words, it is required to select test words.

When pronouncing consonants, sounds encounter an obstacle in their path. It is the presence of noise that is the difference between consonants and vowels. Pronouncing words with an abundance of consonants is difficult. That is why there are no words consisting only of consonants.

Consonants are divided into voiced and voiceless. There are unpaired and paired sounds.

The study of the Russian language begins with the alphabet. Understanding the basics of phonetics and grammar is a key step in teaching children. From infancy, instilling in his child a love for his native language, a person pays tribute to history and traditions. Russian is the richest language in the world. It is very important not to lose this wealth! Letters of the English alphabet can be downloaded.
