Get Perfect Lettering for Pennies

So lately I've been on a sign kick.  But, my freehand lettering attempts left a lot to be desired.  Then, I remembered an old trick I used to trace pictures as a kid. Using this method, you can make perfect letters each time.


Materials: 

- Saying printed in desired font on basic printing paper
- No. 2 pencil
- Painter's Tape
- Chalk Marker (I used Marvy's 6 mm Bistro in white)

Steps:

1) Print the saying in your desired font
2) Scribble across the back 

3) Place the paper in desired position on your sign
4) Tape the sign in place using painter's tape
5) Trace the outside of each letter

6) Remove the paper
7) Carefully trace each letter and then fill in the letter using the Chalk Marker
