Improving Your Handwriting

Creating the most beautiful, aesthetic notes has become a trend and a hobby for many students but handwriting can hold you back if you don't think it looks good. Everyone has a unique handwriting style that should not be compared to others and should most importantly not make you feel ashamed.

1. Figure out your end result

Brainstorm what you want your handwriting to look like. Italicised, cursive, calligraphy, bold? Find a few images that showcase your desired handwriting.

2. Find or make printables

Everyone remembers those repetitive letter tracing worksheet from school. This time go on the internet and search for these letter tracing worksheets but in your desired handwriting. Some of my favourites include BohoBerry, Tiny Ray of Sunshine, Nicole Dawn and Papel & Co. If it is a font you already have on your computer, create your own worksheet with the alphabet and print it out.

3. Practice and Implement

Complete these worksheets until you get the hang of it and gradually start transitioning from your 'normal' handwriting to your new handwriting. This can take a long time before you can effortlessly write using this handwriting but be patient. You've got this!
