Designer Jennifer O'Byrne layers several chalked motifs to create unique themed letters.
Materials:
A variety of chalks, letters templates and themed templates
Adhesive notes or index cards
Black marker
White markers
- In this example, O'Byrne uses adhesive notes to block off letters she won't be using (figure A). This creates a cleaner chalked area. Mistakes can be removed with an eraser.
- Next, O'Byrne chalks the letter (figure B) and removes the template. A smaller thinner letter template is placed over the chalked letter, and O'Byrne erases within the template to leave a white area within the first letter. A marker is used to fill the erased area with color (figure C).
- A themed template (in this example, sunglasses) is placed over the letter and is shaded in with marker. A white marker is used to add highlights to the letter and the themed overlay motif (figure D).
- The technique is repeated until each letter in the title is complete. Then, the title is cut and mounted. Additional themed embellishments and pictures are added to complete the layout.
