Lettering poster "Gin tonic"

Not just for gin lovers! This lettering is a really eye-catching feature for your home.
The best thing about it is that you design it yourself. But you don‘t have to be a calligrapher or a lettering artist: all you need to do is follow these step-by-step instructions.

Print off the template for your desired design.
Shade over the back of the template with a soft pencil (e.g. Mars Lumograph 7B).
Tip: The template can be enlarged to whatever size you want at a copy shop, so you can even create A2 size posters.

Attach the template (front side up) to the top corner of your lettering paper using masking tape.
Then go over the lines with a sharp HB pencil, to transfer the design onto the paper.
Before you remove the template, lift up one corner to check that you have transferred all the lines.
