Help me brainstorm...

I want to write with fabric marker (on fabric-duh!) but I want to make a traceable template. 

I am thinking maybe use a computer program (which one?) to print and tape together to make a template that I could trace through the fabric.  (I want to do this so my writing is uniform)  

How would you do this?

Re: Help me brainstorm...

  • Depends on how big you want the writing... but you could probably just do it in word or powerpoint. If you want fancier fonts then what they typically come with you could download something from dafont.com

    More fancy programs would be illustrator, indesign or photoshop, but I don't think you would need them for that.

    Id probably just use powerpoint.... if you have it.

  • So, I guess I could just print it and then manipulate the angle, etc, that I want?  Like print and C&P?
    That's what I was thinking.

  • You can rotate letters in powerpoint i think.... but if you want a big banner (like larger than your printer will print on a page) then yes print each letter and then stick them together.... 

    You could also use word art in powerpoint (i think it is under insert... haven't used it in a long time and Im currently feeding DS!) that'll do some arcs with letters.
