Learn 5 ways to letter August, plus get access to a Free Lettering Practice sheet! In this blog post, I’ll show you how to write August in calligraphy in several ways to help you improve your lettering skills.

5 WAYS TO LETTER AUGUST

I started this lettering series of FREE calligraphy practice sheets with the months of the year back in March. This idea came after I went back to the bullet journal system. 

I wanted to see all the ways that I can apply my lettering skills into my bullet journal. Keeping each month different when I wrote it on my cover page seemed like a fun way to put my lettering skills to use and practice at the same time.

These worksheets are perfect to learn to letter so you can use it on your bullet journal or any other type of note-taking.

Each time you letter a word a different way, you can pick the letter form you like best and keep using it. Developing your calligraphy style is essential to make sure your lettering doesn’t look like anyone else. Sure, there are going to be some similarities, but you want your calligraphy style to be unique.
