Dip Dyed Stationery DIY
Make these dip dyed watercolor notecards and stationery sets, as gifts for friends and family and/or snail mail that you can stock up on to send out for special occasions, etc.
As part of the project, I collaborated with local designer, Erica Loesing from Yes Ma'am, to hand letter all of the dip dyed cards. And Erica is sharing her top 3 tips for better handwriting today, as well. Yay!
Here's how to make dip dyed watercolor stationery with hand lettered greetings...
Equipment
- Blank Notecards
- Pentel Arts Watercolors
- Pentel Arts Color Pen
- Water
- Bowl
- paint brush
- Paper Towels or a Rag
- Heavy Books (for stacking)
Instructions
- Embrace your style. Love the way your hand writes rather than always trying for it to look like someone else's.
- Be mindful. Being present while writing allows you to appreciate the subtleties of how each letter connects to the next, the spacing, how the scale of each letter compares to it's neighbors.
- Each pen, pencil, or nib allows your hand to move a little bit differently. Find the right tools for you.
- Time to write some seriously awesome snail mail to friends. Right?
