Write it in Twine :: Geralyn Sy

Hi everyone, I have a cute and simple holiday card tutorial to share today! All you need is some Crate patterned paper and embellishments, baker’s twine, and a glue pen. Let’s get started.

First, handwrite the word ‘joy’ on the base of your card. I decided that I wanted the cute little Santa Claus to go on the right side, so I wrote the word on the left side of the card.

Use your glue pen and outline the first letter of the word. I found that it was easier and less messy to outline one letter at a time instead of outlining the entire word all at once.

Now use your baker’s twine and carefully follow the outline.

I wanted to keep the little loop in my letter ‘o’, so I snipped the twine after reaching the bottom of my ‘o’. It’s totally fine and often easier to not use one continuous length of twine when writing a word with twine!

Here, I started the length of my twine again at the beginning of the loop of the ‘o’, and continued to follow the outline of the letter ‘y’.

Once you reach the end of the word, snip off the extra twine and you’re done. Now you can embellish your card as much or as little as you like and it’s ready to be given to a loved one. Hope you enjoyed the tutorial!
