Calligraphy Christmas card

    You don’t have to be an expert in calligraphy to use a quill and ink pot – simply by playing with squiggles and swirls you can create simple but effective cards.

    You’ll need:

    • Plain coloured card
    • A calligraphy quill
    • A pot of white ink

     

     

    Step one

    Practice using the calligraphy quill on a scrap piece of card. Find the best, most comfortable way to use the quill and take note of how the ink works and how quickly it runs out. Have a play with patterns.

    Step two

    Once you’ve practiced, squiggle a Christmas tree with a few swirly baubles, a stump and a star on top on the card. Finish the card off with a message – like ‘Merry Christmas’!
