Martha Stewart Kids, Volume 21 2006
Making this one-of-a-kind sign is as easy as A-B-C (well, maybe not C). Look all over for letters in different styles: in magazines, books, cards, and packaging. Enlarge each character to about 9 inches using a scanner or photocopier. Cut out; tape to card stock for a sturdy backing. Tape letters to ribbon, and hang.
i made this using photoshop and it turned out great!
too cute! good idea about using the word processing for the letters...i think i will do that instead!
I followed the suggestion of using printer fonts and it worked well. To get the letter 9inches you have to increase the font to 648.
Thank you for that great suggestion, SarT. I will probably try this one again in the future, but in the meantime, I've just finished another MS banner. Happy celebrating!
I was thinking the same thing....When I make this I think I will avoid using clippings from articles and such, instead I am just going to use different font types on my Word program. You can get almost all colours and lots of different styles. Hope this helps, with your pixel problem.
I'm struggling with pixelation: my letters are broken up into hundreds of dots. Not sure how to avoid this. Any advice?
