DAYS OF THE WEEK CALLIGRAPHY TUTORIAL + FREE PRACTICE SHEET

A great way to learn calligraphy is by practicing writing new words. I want to help you do the same, and that’s why I created this FREE calligraphy practice sheet where I show you how to letter the days of the week.

Last month, I decided to give the bullet journal system a try again. I’m enjoying this planning system because it’s helping me a lot to stay organized and more productive. One thing that has me excited is all the ways that I can apply my calligraphy and lettering skills to my bullet journal.

These practice worksheets will help you learn and improve your calligraphy so you can use your skill not only in your bullet journaling, but everywhere like making cards, signs, or simply note-taking. There are so many different ways you can use your calligraphy skills.

Today’s FREE practice worksheet will be in the resource library as well, and you can get access to it by filling out the form below. If you have a word or phrase you’d like to use to practice your lettering, let me know in the comments. I’ll be choosing new words every month to create free practice worksheets.

HOW TO USE THE FREE PRACTICE WORKSHEETS?

• Fill out the form at the bottom of this post or go to my free resource library if you already have the password to get in. Once you’re there, select the practice sheet you’d like to download. For this tutorial select the: DAYS OF THE WEEK CALLIGRAPHY PRACTICE SHEET.
• The worksheet will be an instant download, and you can print it at home or at a local printer store or library.
  • Learn how you can print at home for FREE or at a very affordable price. I wrote a whole blog post about it because I’ve saved SO MUCH money using this printing service at home.
  • I use this inexpensive laser printer. (This printer is black and white. But that’s all you need at the moment to print the practice sheets). If you prefer a color printer, this is another inexpensive option 
• Set your printer scaling to “Fit Page.”
• Once you’ve printed your worksheet, you’re ready to get your practice going!
• IMPORTANT: Slow down! As you are practicing, make sure to take your time. Doing calligraphy is not meant to be fast.
• REMEMBER: use light pressure for the upstrokes (when you’re moving the pen upwards) and heavy pressure for the downstrokes (when you’re moving the pen upwards). Find a comfortable position and take breaks if you need to. Lift your pen between each stroke as you’re practicing the letterforms. You can also adjust your page anytime to get a better angle.
