Try using a combination of colorful squares and letters for titles with new pizazz. Designer Ruth Gilbert demonstrates. Materials: Small patterned or solid paper squares
Tweezers
Craft knife
Letter outlines or adhesive letters
Black waterproof archival pen
White vellum
Acid-free adhesive
- First, use pre-printed letters or print large letters from the computer.
- Place white vellum over the letter and use black archival pen to trace.
- Use craft knife to cut open areas from letters (figure A) -- instead of just cutting the center section away, consider using a font or selecting a letter with thick, open lines that can be cut away.
- Use adhesive to attach letters to patterned or brightly colored squares (figure B) so that color shows through open areas of letter. Tip: Tweezers can be used to easily place and maneuver letters.
- To vary the effect, use deckle-edged scissors to trim the edges of the base square, then cut a smaller square to layer over the base. Use tweezers to add an adhesive letter.
- Add letters to page to create title (figure C).
